Command Analysis

FC Gloria Buzau

Current form
Last season, Gloria Buzau took third place in the Second League and managed to qualify for the top division of Romanian football. The club has not yet managed to get used to this level, so for now Eugen Negu's team is in last place in the standings. One of the main competitors is today's opponent, who is only one point ahead of Gloria. At the end of 2024, the club suffered three defeats in a row without scoring a single goal, and January began for the Buzau team with a 1-2 away defeat against the leader of the Romanian Super League, Universitati Cluj. Then the team won an important victory over Uniray (3:0), but the hosts failed to score points in the last confrontation with Ocelul (1:2).

Botosani

Current form
Botosani is also one of the obvious outsiders of the Romanian championship. The club finished the first half of the season in penultimate place and is only one point ahead of today's opponent. The team finished 2024 with three defeats in a row - from FCSB (1:2), Hermanstadt (1:2) and UTA Arad (0:2). They managed to win only in the cup match with Chakhleul (1-0). The situation did not improve in January. Leontin Grozavu's team managed to draw with CFR Cluj (1:1) and Sepsi (0:0), but lost to Petrolulu (1:3). During the entire season, the guests managed to score only 19 goals, being the least productive team in the Super League, along with Ocelul.

Christian Albu, Romario Benzar and Luka Kukic will miss the match due to injuries. Andrey Miron is serving his suspension.
Interesting betting trends

This pattern has worked in six of the last eight matches of the hosts.
2.40Tip and bets
The hosts are doing pretty well on their own field and recently won a major victory against Slobodzeya Uniray. Now the team has a great chance to leave the last place, for this it is only necessary to win a home victory over the main competitor. We believe that the support of the stands will help the Buzau club achieve its goals, besides, Botosani has not won for a long time.
Our forecast is an Asian handicap (0) for the Gloria Buzau in 1.90
Bet on the total
Opponents are among the outsiders for a reason, it is very difficult for such modest teams to prove themselves in an attacking game. For sure, even in a face-to-face match, the teams will choose a defensive style of play, trying to avoid serious mistakes. It is unlikely that the players will take much risk in attack, so you should not expect high performance.
Our forecast is a total of less than 2.5 goals in 1.60
Betting on corners
Most likely, the opponents will rely on defense, so we are unlikely to see many corners in this match. It is worth betting on a total of less in this indicator.
Our forecast is a total of less than 9.5 corners in 1.72
