Sepsi and Universitat Craiova open the last leg of the play-off tour with an important game only for the visitors, who are still hoping for a 3rd place that will open them to the Conference League (4th place goes to Europe only if CFR Cluj wins the Romanian Cup ).

Sepsi are in 6th place with 24 points, 13 points off the last podium position occupied by FCSB, and this comes after the defeat suffered at CFR Cluj after leading 1-2.

Cristiano Bergodi’s team has one win and three losses in the playoffs, and the top scorer of the Kovas team is Vitalie Damashkan, who has 10 goals in this Super League season.

Sepsi is betting more on the Romanian Cup, a competition which he won in the previous draw and in which he has now reached the semi-finals, where he will play CFR Cluj on April 26, 2023 in one match, on his own ground (the other semi-final is U Cluj v UTA Arad).

“It’s a very difficult match because the Kraiova team is coming back, they are playing well, they had a good playoff, and it will be difficult for us from now on. This is a team with good players, I know them well, with a valuable squad. It seems that now they have gained confidence, after the victory in the last match against “Rapid”. They will definitely come here to win the three points,” Sepsi coach Cristiano Bergodi said.

Craiova University are in 4th place with 32 points, four more than Rapida, a team also targeting European Cup qualification and having just beaten 3-1 at home in the previous round.

It was the first play-off win for Yevhen Nyagoe’s side, who have recorded two draws and one loss, with Olten’s top scorer being Andrii Ivan, who has nine league successes.

“It’s a difficult trip, we know the team from Sfantu Gheorghe very well, a team with valuable players who play quite aggressively at home, but I hope we can get three points. It is very important for us to continue the good evolution we had in this playoff,” said the coach of the University of Craiova, Eugen Nyagoe.

In the regular season matches, the two teams played to a draw in the round in Bana on July 15, 2022 with the score 2-2 (Gustavo 29, 59 / Damascus 73, N. Paun 87), so in response to St. Gheorghe, University of Craiova to beat Sepsi, 29 October 2022, 1-0 (Vătăjelu 58).
