On Monday, August 29, at 21:00 live on Digi Sport 1, Prima Sport 1 and Orange Sport 1, the final match of the 7th stage of the Super League “University of Craiova” – FC Botosani will take place.
Craiova University return to domestic competition after the disappointment of missing out on qualification from the UEFA Conference League groups, with the Oltenians dramatically eliminated in the competition’s play-offs on penalties by Hapoel Be’er Shev.
“The biggest pain is that we had qualification in our pocket. Because we were not in a situation in the round where we had to come back. We were now 1-0 and we needed to control the game. The lack of experience of matches under pressure was important. For it was a lesson in the mind for us,” Olten coach Mirel Redoi said.
In the Super League, Universitat Craiova have collected just eight points from five matches (they still have a backlog at home to Kindia Tirgovishte) and return to Drobet-Turnu-Severin, where they chose to play during the period when the Ion Oblemenko Stadium “IntenCity Festival” was held.
Mirel Redoi distinguished himself in only one match in the championship on the bench of Craiova University, in a painful and happy match with CS Mioveni (the Argesians did not realize a penalty in extra time).
FC Botosani are unbeaten this season with three wins and two draws, and in their last match they won at CFR Cluj.
Moreover, Mihai Tej’s team did not play the last stage (with FCSB), so physically the Moldovans are much fresher.
On the road, “Botoshani” scored seven points in three matches, becoming the leader of the Super League by this indicator.
“It will be a tough match, they have quality players who can make the difference, but we are also a good team and I am confident in what we are preparing.
I hope we will have a good match, we are going to win because we are aiming for every match because this is the mentality I want in the team,” said Moldova coach Mihai Teja.
In the last 10 direct confrontations, Universitat Craiova won five times, FC Botosani won two matches, draws were recorded three times.
Last (regular) season, the two teams played out a 2-2 draw in Botošan, with Olten winning 2-0 in Craiova in the second leg.
Superbet offers odds of 1.65 that FC Botosani will score at least one goal in the match with Craiova University.
