Last season, Dynamo almost left the Premier League, finishing the championship in the play-off zone. The team managed to stay in the elite, beating Merkuryu-Chuk (2:0) in the play-offs. This season, the club has completely different goals. Currently, the capital team occupies the second line and is six points behind the leading Universitati. In the last rounds of the championship, the hosts won dry victories over Hermannstadt (2:0) and UTA Arad (1:0), but were eliminated from the cup, losing heavily to FCSB (0:4).

- The club has won only two of its last seven matches.
Probable line-up : Golubovic - Sivis, Boateng, Homavu, Oprut - Olsen, Gnahor, Kieran - Abdallah, Selmani, Politician.

CFR Cluj

Current form
After five consecutive titles, CFR Cluj have loosened their grip and have failed to win gold medals in the last two seasons. The visitors clearly want to get the trophy back, but have not yet managed to get closer to the top spot. The top spot has been occupied by their neighbors from Universitati, who are seven points ahead of CFR. At the same time, the “railwaymen” are only one point behind the second position and a victory over their direct competitor in the next match will allow them to overtake Dynamo. After three consecutive draws, Dan Petrescu’s charges managed to beat Gloria Buzau with a score of 1:0.

The hosts have lost seven of their last eight matches against CFR Cluj, but this is not surprising given that the club has had a poor run of recent seasons. Now the Bucharest club has the opportunity to finally fight for victory, because even in the standings the team is ahead of its competitor. The Red-Whites will be serious about this match and will do everything to retain second place. We will risk betting on a positive outcome for the home team.
Our prediction - Dynamo Bucharest will not lose at 1.85
Bet on total
In the match for the intermediate second place, we should not expect many goals. Obviously, the opponents will act carefully in defense and will try not to allow liberties in the attack. Most likely, we will see an equal duel, but without a large number of goals scored.
Forecast - total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.70
Bet on corners
The opponents will probably rely on defense in this match, so it is unlikely that there will be many corners.
Forecast - total corners under 9.5 with odds of 1.75
