Poli Iasi v Universitat Craiova, Romania Championship 5th Round Match Countdown scheduled for Saturday, August 12 at 9:30pm at Emil Alexandrescu Stadium live on Digi Sport 1, Orange Sport 1 and Prima Sport 1.

Poly Iasi and Craiova University meet in one of the most interesting matches of the 5th stage of the Super League, given that the games of the Conference League teams have been postponed.

Poli Iasi made a shaky debut on their return to the top flight with just one win, 3-1 at champions Farul Konstanz, and three defeats: 0-2 away to CFR Cluj, 1-3 at home to Hermannstadt” and 0-1 on the field of UTA Arad.

Before the game against Craiova University, Poli Iasi managed to make two new transfers from top teams, striker Sergiu Bush (CFR Cluj) and left-back Rares Ispas (Sepsi), to which is added the arrival of Silvio Lungo, a goalkeeper with a very high qualification. extensive experience (218 matches in League 1, 125 appearances in the first echelon of Turkey and 27 in the first league of Saudi Arabia).

“It’s a tough game against a team that fights in the championship every year. This is a very well-organized team, with valuable players and a coach with a lot of experience. We must understand that this is a championship, we must not look at who is in front of us, we must give everything,” said Leo Grozavu, coach of Poli Iasi.

The University of Craiova changed their coach after the first two matches, 2-0 away to Dinamo and 0-0 at home to Ocellul Galats – Laurenziu Regekampf replaced Eugen Nyagoe – but neither the game nor the results convinced, 1-1 at CFR Cluj and 1 -0 at home with Hermannstadt.

“We have a tough match ahead of us, with a motivated team the stadium will be full. We are going to win three points. From what I have seen, Poli Iasi is a team that plays football, very well on the pitch, has a very ambitious coach that we all know, so it will be difficult. I’m not afraid, but I have emotions, as in every match,” said Laurentiu Regekampf.

The last time these two teams faced each other was in the 2020-2021 season, when Craiova University won both of their regular-season matches against Pola Iasi, 1-0 at home and 3-0 away.
