Dinamo vs Universitat Craiova, the first round match of the Romanian Championship, is scheduled for Monday, July 17 at 21:30 at the Arc de Triumf Stadium in Bucharest and will be broadcast live on Digi Sport 1, Orange Sport 1 and Prima Sport 1.

Dynamo have a tough debut in their return to the top flight after just one season in League 2 against traditional rivals Craiova University.

Dynamo finished the second division play-offs in 4th place and were promoted after a 6-1 home and 2-4 away play-off win against Argesh, thus returning to the Super League after only a one-year absence.

Dynamo still has big financial problems, so it was possible to legitimize Hakim Abdallah (Wirton), Gonzalo Gregorio (Leiria), Adnan Holubovych (Koper), Christian Kostin (Volunteers), Dennis Politic (Cremonese), Ricardo Grigore (Petrolul). and Giani Kretsu (Argesh FC) – the latter two returning from loan.

In summer friendlies, Ovidiu Burke’s team won once, 1-0 against Slaven Belupo, and lost twice, 0-1 against Zalaegerszeg and 1-4 against Dynamo Kyiv.

“We’re fine! The discount is removed, I can use the players we brought in. Now we can focus only on football! The main goal is to stay in the Super League, given that we have recently been promoted,” said Ovidio Burke.

“University of Craiova” finished the previous season in 4th place and for the first time in the last seven years missed access to the European Cups.

Olteni has made just one major transfer, Aleksandar Mitrice, a former New York City player who last played for Al Raed in Saudi Arabia.

Instead, Valerika Geman, Ivan Martic, Jonuc Mitran, Jean Mendy, Bogdan Mitrea, Bogdan Vetejelu, Jonuc Vane, Sergio Hanka and Rivaldinho left.

The team, coached by Eugen Neagoe, spent the summer training camp in Bulgaria where they won three friendly matches: 2-0 against Botev Plovdiv, 2-0 against Drita and 3-2 against Slavia Sofia and two defeats, 0-2 with Ludogorets and 0-2 with Lokomotiv Plovdiv.

“It was always a derby, because all games with Dynamo had a high degree of risk not only on the field, but also outside the stadium.

We have high hopes, it’s a tough game even if we face a fresh team. “Dynamo” will remain “Dynamo”, this is a dangerous team,” Yevhen Nyagoe said.

The two teams last met in the 2021-2022 regular season, when Craiova University won both legs against Dynamo, 5-0 in the home leg and 6-1 in the second leg away.
