Botoșani

LLLWDL

Botoșani will be hoping to bounce back here after a 2-0 Liga 1 Play Offs defeat in their last game at the hands of Sepsi Sfântu Gheorghe.

In that game, Botoșani had 53% possession and 8 attempts at goal with 1 of them on target. At the other end, Sepsi OSK had 8 shots on goal with 4 on target. Dávid Sigér (71') and Cosmin Matei (81') scored for Sepsi Sfântu Gheorghe.

A common feature of more recent Botoșani games is the number of results with a nil in them.

From their prior six matches leading up to this one, in 5 of them a bet on "Both Teams to Score" would have been a loser. That sort of trend might not be carried forward into this match, of course.
