Command Analysis

CSM Politehnica Iasi

Current form
Politehnica have not performed well in recent matches and have dropped to 14th place in the standings. At the same time, the team is only two points behind the tenth position, so the hosts can rise several positions at once in case of a victory. The hosts have not won for six matches, and have not managed to beat even such weak opponents as Botosani (1:1), Gloria Buzau (0:2) and Hermannstadt (0:0). During this period, they have only managed to win against the modest Sănătatei (2:1) in the national cup.
Disqualifications and injuries
Nicolas Samayoa will miss the match due to an accumulation of yellow cards, while Rares Ispas remains in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting

- The hosts have won just one of their last seven matches.
Tentative lineup: Fernandez - Atanaskoski, Ilie, Moreira, Guilherme - Gheorghe, Bordeiano, Marchioni, Stefanovic - Roman, Omrani

FC FCSB

Current form
FCSB performs confidently both at the national level and in European tournaments. In the Europa League, the only misfire occurred in the second round match against Rangers (0:4). In one of the last matches of the Romanian championship, the club lost to the outsider Botosani (0:1), but then crushed Unirea (3:0). The team remains three points from the first place. If they manage to win, the guests will catch up with the leading Universitatea from Cluj. In the last match of the championship, the guests tied with Farul (1:1), and then lost to Universitatea Craiova (0:2) in the cup.
Disqualifications and injuries
Alexandru Baluta, Mihai Lisandra and Octavian Popescu will miss the match due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting

2.45Tip and bets
The hosts have lost their form and dropped to the relegation zone, and in the next match they will have to play the current champion. The visitors have not won in the last three matches either, but due to the depth of the squad they may well win a confident victory over Politekhnika. Most likely, the club from Bucharest will be able to beat one of the outsiders on the road.
Our forecast is FCSB victory for 1.65
Bet on total
The opponents have not scored much lately, so it is unlikely that we will see a goal extravaganza in this match. In the last face-to-face match between the opponents, only one goal was scored. We do not think that this time the meeting will be much more spectacular.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.75
Bet on corners
FCSB, as the favorite, will dictate the terms of the game and will spend a lot of time at the opponent goal in positional attacks. With a high degree of probability, the guests will win on corners today.
Our forecast is Asian handicap (-1.5) on corners at FCSB for 1.80
