📰 Team News: FC U Craiova
The FC U Craiova manager Giovanni Constantino has a full complement, with no fitness worries to speak of ahead of this match with a fully injury-free group ready to go. The players ineligible for this match because of suspension are Moses Abbey, Sorin Mogoșanu and Ionuț Zanfir.
We think that Studenții may well make use of the 4-2-3-1 formation this time, beginning the first half with Robert Dimitrie Popa, Andrea Padula, Gabriel Compagnucci, Leo Lacroix, Matheus Mascarenhas, Vlad Achim, Constantin Albu, William Baeten, Juan Bauza, Yassine Bahassa and Aurelian Chitu.
📋 Team News: Universitatea Craiova
Owing to a fully injury-free group available to choose from, the Universitatea Craiova boss Ivaylo Petev has zero fitness concerns whatsoever coming into this clash. Players who are serving a ban and are therefore ineligible to play are Moses Abbey, Sorin Mogoșanu and Ionuț Zanfir.
From our viewpoint, Studenţii seem likely to make use of a 4-3-3 lineup by sending out Laurentju Popescu, Mihai Capatina, Vladimir Screciu, Juraj Badelj, Nicusor Bancu, Alexandru Cretu, Alexandru Mateiu, Anzor Mekvabishvili, Stefan Baiaram, Jovan Markovic and Alexandru Mitrita.
💭 Prediction
Looking at these two teams, we feel that FC U Craiova will really need to work well to breach the defence of this Universitatea Craiova team who we think will get a goal themselves and run out victorious.
That’s why we have predicted a 0-1 advantage for Universitatea Craiova at the end of the 90 minutes.
There should be little in it.
