ℹ️ Team News: Hermannstadt

We are thinking that Sibienii could use the 5-3-2 system for the game, handing starts to Catalin Cabuz, Ionut Stoica, Florin Bejan, Tiberiu Capusa, Nana Kwame Antwi, Tiago Goncalves, Kalifa Kujabi, Antoni Ivanov, Alessandro Murgia, Aurelian Chitu and Ianis Stoica.

📰 Team News: UTA Arad

In an otherwise full-strength squad, there is only the one fitness issue for the UTA Arad boss Mircea Rednic to be concerned about. Cristian Mihai (muscular problems) won’t be in action.

We are inclined to think that UTA Arad might utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup, settling for Dejan Iliev, Cornel Emilian Rapa, Alexandru Benga, Florent Poulolo, Damien Dussaut, Joher Khadim Rassoul, Benjamin van Durmen, Marian Danciu, Paul-Jose M'Poku, Marinos Tzionis and Valentin Costache.

⚡ Prediction

UTA Arad will manage to find the back of the net against this Hermannstadt lineup, although that may not prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We think that it’s going to be a very close game with a 2-1 win for Hermannstadt after 90 minutes. Hopefully this is a good one.
