FCU 1948 Craiova vs Voluntari, the Romanian League 5th round tie is scheduled for Friday, August 11 at 20:30 at the Ion Oblemenco Stadium and will be broadcast live on Digi Sport 1, Orange Sport 1 and Prima Sport 2.

FCU 1948 Craiova and Voluntari open the 5th stage of the Super League with a match in which two of the most interesting teams of the championship meet.

FCU 1948 Craiova only got their first points in the previous stage, 1-0 away to Botosani, after losing on the line in the first three rounds, 1-3 with FCSB 8a), 0-1 with Sepsi (d) and 3- 4 with U Cluj (a).

In these circumstances, Nicolae Dike is no longer sure of the position of head coach and his mission is becoming more and more difficult, especially as he faces a rival on the rise and the gallery has just announced that it will no longer support the team until a decision is made final in the historical record case contested with the University of Craiova.

“The goal is to get to the playoffs. We have all the conditions, but we must play as a team, not individually. We want the fans to come with the team. If we manage to achieve positive results, they will definitely come to us,” said Nicolae Dicke, coach of FCU 1948 Craiova.

Voluntari starts the 5th stage from the 2nd place, where it got after three wins, 2-1 with Botosani (a), 2-0 with Petrolul Ploişeti (d) and 2-1 with Rapid (a), as well as a defeat , 1 -4 from Farul Constanta (d).

Ilfovenii continues to rely on the perfect cooperation between Marin Dune, the team’s de facto coach, and Ilie Poenaru, the de facto coach who cannot give instructions during matches because he does not have a professional license.

“We have known each other for a long time, I don’t think we will give different advice, we understand each other by looking at each other. We really work side by side. We respect the regulations, we work and hope for results,” said Marin Dune.

The two teams have met each other four times in the last championship, twice in the regular season, with each winning at home, FC U 1948 Craiova 2-1 and Voluntari 1-0, once in the play-offs, score 3 -3 in Bănie and in the Conference League playoff qualifier at the Ion Oblemenco Stadium, when the score was again 3-3 and Olten won on penalties.
