Miercurea Ciuc

LWWDWL

Miercurea Ciuc will be hoping for a better result following the 1-0 Liga 1 Play Offs losing effort in their last game against UTA Arad.

In that game, Miercurea Ciuc managed 37% possession and 7 shots on goal with 0 of them on target. UTA Arad got 17 attempts at goal with 4 on target. Hakim Abdallah (86') was the scorer for UTA Arad.

A recurring theme in more recent Miercurea Ciuc games is seeing a zero in the scoreline.

Taking their prior 6 clashes before this one, in 5 of them a bet on "Both Teams to Score" would have been a losing one. Such a trend isn’t assured to follow through into this game, though.

Botoșani

🗞️ Team News: Miercurea Ciuc

Regarding absentees, there’s just a single fitness concern for the Miercurea Ciuc gaffer to be concerned with from an otherwise complete set of players. Ervin Bakos (Ligament tear) misses out.

We are thinking that Miercurea Ciuc could make use of the 4-2-3-1 formation, handing starts to Eduard Pap, Lorand Paszka, Raul Palmes, Attila Csuros, Razvan Trif, Szilard Veres, Bence Vegh, Anderson Ceara, Efraim Bodo, Szabolcs Szalay and Marton Eppel.

📋 Team News: Botoșani

We are inclined to think that Botoșănenii seem most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting the game with Luka Kukic, Riad Suta, Elhadji Pape Diaw, George Miron, Razvan Cret, Enriko Papa, Charles Petro, Stefan Bodisteanu, Hervin Ongenda, Zoran Mitrov and Sebastian Mailat.

💭 Prediction

Our feeling is that Botoșani and Miercurea Ciuc might both not be able to do quite enough to get on the scoresheet here.

It will be interesting to see how this one goes, and it’s not easy to pick a clear winner. We’re therefore expecting a very competitive game with a 0-0 score by the conclusion of this game.
