📰 Team News: Petrolul Ploieşti

There’s a good chance that Lupii galbeni seem most likely to play in a 4-1-4-1 system using Raul Balbarau, Ricardinho, Paul Papp, Yohan Roche, Denis Radu, Alexandru Stanica, Valentin Gheorghe, Alexandru Mateiu, Tommi Jyry, Gheorghe Grozav and Christian Irobiso.

⚡ Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Petrolul Ploieşti will need to push hard to be putting a goal past this Hermannstadt team who we reckon should score & stay on top.

We therefore fancy a very competitive encounter with a 1-0 win for Hermannstadt at the end of the 90 minutes.

It should be a good one.
