📋 Team News: Universitatea Craiova

Antoine Conte (Leg Injury) and Lyes Houri (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) are unavailable for Universitatea Craiova boss Victor Piţurcă.

We are thinking that Studenţii look set to use the 4-2-3-1 formation for the game, utilising Mirko Pigliacelli, Bogdan Vatajelu, Paul Papp, M. Marcel Constantin, Nicusor Bancu, Vladimir Screciu, Alexandru Cretu, Gustavo, Stefan Baiaram, Andrei Ivan and Jovan Markovic.

🗞️ Team News: Steaua Bucharest

With a completely healthy squad ready to go, the Steaua Bucharest boss Bogdan Vintilă does not have any fitness concerns whatsoever ahead of this clash.

It’s our belief that Steliștii seem likely to play in a 4-3-3 system, settling for Stefan Tarnovanu, Ovidiu Popescu, Iulian Cristea, George Miron, Risto Radunovic, Darius Olaru, Adrian Sut, Florin Tanase, Andrei Cordea, Florinel Coman and Octavian Popescu.

🧠 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Steaua Bucharest and Universitatea Craiova could end up without much reward for their efforts here.

A scoreless draw looks like a real possibility, but we’ll see what happens. We’re therefore tipping a very even match with a 0-0 draw when the full-time whistle blows.
