The University from Craiova won the bronze medals of the Romanian championship last season and qualified for the Conference League, where the Slovenian Maribor failed to pass." (0:2, 3:2).

Current form

The University of Cluj is at the top of the Romanian Super League standings, which few people could have believed before the start of the season. In the last championship draw, the guests could not even break into the top six. Nevertheless, the competition is high and other candidates for the championship have much more experience in the fight for high places. The team from Cluj shares the first place with Dinamo Bucharest, which played one more match, only two points behind the reigning champion, FCSB. In recent home matches, the University has managed to defeat the main outsider, Gloria Buzau (2:1), and Rapid Bucharest, which closes the top six (2:1).

Tip and bets

1.9total more than two goals

Both teams are participating in the championship race and they only need a victory today. No one will be satisfied with a draw, so from the very first minutes the opponents will try to seize the advantage in the score. Surely this will lead to many dangerous moments, some of which will be realized. In none of the last four face-to-face matches have fewer than two goals been scored. We believe that this tradition will continue.

Our forecast is a total of more than two goals in 1.90
