Command Analysis

UTA Arad

Current form
The game of UTA Arad leaves much to be desired. In the last ten matches, the hosts of the upcoming match have won only twice, with five defeats and three draws. In the first two rounds of the national cup, the team played with Politehnica Iasi and Unirea Ungheni. In those games, it was not possible to determine the winner (1:1). On its home field, the club plays well. It manages to score in almost every match, but in the last two games, the opponent scored more, and the hosts suffered two defeats.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no losses in the home team squad before the match.

FC Viitorul Constanta

Current form
Farul was the champion of Romania not so long ago, but with the game that the team is showing at the moment, it can only dream of repeating this achievement. The hosts are not even in the top 10 (11th place in the tournament table). At the moment, the team has caught a draw syndrome, because they have drawn in four previous matches. Away matches are playing well. The club has not known defeat in them for six matches in a row, and in five of them there was a draw.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ionut Laryea will miss the match due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- Farul have drawn their last four matches
- The visitors have conceded in five of their last six matches
Estimated line-up: Buzbuchi - Ganya, Gustavo Marins, Balasha, Shirbu - Chasap, Dichan, Vine - Radaslavescu, Alibek, Grigoryan.

2.60Tip and bets
Both teams have problems in the defensive line. The hosts have conceded in seven of the last eight matches, while the visitors have failed to keep a clean sheet in eight of the last ten encounters. Such indicators suggest that both teams will be able to score in a face-to-face match.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.80
Bet on the outcome
We believe that the opponents are roughly equal in strength. The hosts are a slight favorite only because of the home field factor. UTA Arad have drawn two of their last three matches, and Farul have lost to their world-class opponents in four games in a row. There is a feeling that this match will not reveal a winner either.
Our prediction is a draw with odds of 3.30
Bet on corners
UTA Arad averages 3.9 corners per match, while Farul averages 4.1. We believe that in a head-to-head match the teams will not be able to beat the average, and there will not be many corner flag serves in the match.
Our prediction is total under 9.5 corners for 1.65
