From a largely healthy group, there’s just the lone fitness issue for the Voluntari boss Ilie Poenaru to be concerned with. Andreas Niță (Cruciate ligament surgery) won’t be in action.
There’s a good chance that Alb-Vișinii could decide to make use of a 3-4-3 system, starting Jesus Fernandez, Cristian Paz, Patricio Matricardi, Igor Armas, Radu Boboc, Vadim Rata, Ljuban Crepulja, Naser Aliji, Mihai Radut, Adam Nemec and Robert Popescu.
