Botosani and CFR Cluj meet in a clearly unbalanced match between a team in free fall and a team that is getting closer and closer to the top position in the rankings.

FC Botosani have picked up just three points from their last six league matches (they lost 0-8 away to Farul Konstanz in their last) and have dropped to 12th place with 20 points from 19 matches.

A few days ago, the group from Moldova appointed Flavius ​​Stojkan as the head coach instead of Mihai Chobana, who was acting after the dismissal of Mihai Tei.

“FC Botosani is not a team from the bottom of the rating, that’s clear! He has a lot of quality, I think it’s just a negative pass,” said Flavij Stojkan.

Meanwhile, Valeriu Iftime has announced that he is ready to sell the club for free: “I would like to give this club to someone who promises to support it for at least another three years, to give me a guarantee that it will happen. I would not like to close it, it’s a pity. I give it away for free, only the deficit of a million or so euros needs to be covered.”

CFR Cluj has made it four straight league wins since the defeat in Giuleşti and moved up to 2nd in the table with 40 points from 18 matches, just four points behind leaders Farul Konstanz (also behind FCSB away 15 December) .

Dan Petrescu’s side also reached the quarter-finals of the Romanian Cup after a 0-0 draw with Farul Constanta in a decider they couldn’t afford to lose, so they will continue to fight on three fronts (it also qualified for the last 16 of the UEFA Conference League).

In fact, Ioan Varga, the owner of Transylvania, offered Dan Petrescu a new contract valid for the period 2024-2029, with a salary of 25,000 euros per month, as well as significant performance bonuses (the qualification bonus for the UEFA Champions League would be one million euros).

FC “Botosani” has not lost in the last three direct matches against CFR Cluj, and in the tour on August 14, they won 1:0 in Gruja thanks to a goal from Kamara (31).
