2.55Tip and bets
The visitors are performing somewhat inconsistently - winning streaks are regularly followed by losing streaks against not the strongest clubs. The championship leader will play away against the sixth team in the championship, so victory is far from guaranteed. On their home field, Sepsi is acting quite confidently and has not lost in Sfantu Gheorghe for four matches. We believe that the hosts will be able to extend their home unbeaten streak.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Sepsi for 2.15
Bet on total
In the last four home games, Sepsi has conceded only one goal. It is obvious that the hosts know how to play reliably in defense and will certainly be able to confidently defend against Universitati. Most likely, we will not see many goals scored here.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals at 1.53
Bet on corners
We believe that the opponents will rely on defense in this match, so it is unlikely that the total number of corners will be exceeded.
Our prediction is total under 8.5 corners for 1.96
