FC Voluntari – CS U Craiova, Picks and Tips
FC Voluntari was one of the pleasant surprises of this edition of Liga 1. The presence in the top 6 is fully deserved for Ciobotariu's team, which has shown in many games that it is a hard team to beat. Recently, the team has lost narrowly to both CFR and FCSB. Against the Red-and-Blue, the Ivorians drew in the first leg, and in the match two weeks ago only Tavi Popescu's late goal made the difference. Voluntari also came close to an upset in Gruia, but after a goalless first half, the Ivorians conceded three goals in the second half, although at one point they drew level at 1. Second defeat in less than two weeks for Voluntari against the leaders, who were each time dominated by Cluj. It won't be an easy task in the play-off for Ciobi's side, but Ilfovenii need to show that they won't just make an appearance. The team from Voluntari has several very experienced players, such as Tamaș, Budescu or Vlad, but that won't be enough for Ciobotariu's side to finish in the top 4. In home games this season, the team has only lost three times. And this year, they have only lost to CFR Cluj. In the last 5 games at Voluntari, Ciobi's pupils have three wins, a draw and a defeat against the leader. Will the hosts manage another unbeaten match in the FC Voluntari - FC Argeș duel?
Craiova is the most fit team in the championship. The team coached by Laurențiu Reghecampf has reached 7 consecutive victories in League 1 and is aiming for another success in the second round of the play-off. The Oltenii made a good start in the second half of the competition and won by a scoreless draw against FC Argeș. Even if the score difference was big, the team from Banie broke away at the end. This after the Argeșenii were left with 10 men after Latovlevici was sent off. Of course, the victory of Olteni can not be doubted. Reghe's team was much better, dominated the match and confirmed the excellent form they are going through. Four points behind FCSB, Craiova are still hoping for second place. But a win at Voluntari is necessary!
