Universitatea Craiova vs Astra Giurgiu Picks
Universitatea Craiova suffered with FCSB the first defeat this year, 2-3 with FCSB and reached 6p by CFR Cluj leader and 3p by former Steaua. However, the “white-blue” can finish in the second place at the end of the regular season, if they beat Astra Giurgiu, because FCSB lost 2p to Voluntari on Saturday night. With success, the Oltenians would make 48p, just like the FCSB, but they have the advantage of direct results, 2-1 in the tournament on “Ion Oblemenco” and 2-3 in return on the “National Arena”. Astra Giurgiu qualified mathematically in the play-off after the success of the previous round with the Sibiu, so they will come relaxed in Muni. Both teams managed to qualify in the semifinals of the Romanian Cup in the middle of the week. It will be a balanced game in which the hosts aim to get 3p to finish the regular season on the 2 nd place, and the guests, who have 9 consecutive non-defeat matches, maintain their invincibility and retrieve at least 1p of the 3 lost tour, home.
