The countdown match of the 2nd stage of the Romanian championship between Farul and Voluntari is scheduled for Saturday, July 22, from 18:30 at the Central Stadium in Ovidiu, and will be broadcast live on Digi Sport 1, Orange Sport 1 and Prima Sport 2.
One of the most interesting for the bookies is the match between Farul and Voluntari, two teams with different moods before meeting in the 2nd stage of the Super League.
Farul started the new season indecisively, with a defeat in the Romanian Super Cup (0-1 against Sepsi in Ploiesti) and a fortunate win at Hermannstadt in the first leg (1-0), then crashed out of the first preliminary round of the Champions League after 1-0 at home and 0-3 after extra time away to Sherif Tiraspol.
This summer, the Mariners brought in, among others, Zorhan Bassong, Fabio Vianna (both from FC Arges), Damien Dussault (Rapid), Romario Benzar (UTA), Nicolae Karn (CS Mioveni), Amin Benchaib (Mioveni), Rivaldinho and Ionuc Vine (both from Craiova University), but lost Luis Munteanu, who returned to Fiorentina.
“We are trying to recover from what happened in the last match, where we showed ourselves at our worst. Things need to be fixed very quickly. Now we have a home match against a team that won the first round with good morale. We hope for a victory, we are interested in three points,” said the coach of the “sailors” Hyke Hagi.
Voluntari started the new season with new coach Ilje Poenaru (he does not have a professional license, so the position belongs to Marin Dune in the documents) and won the first leg at home with a score of 2:1 against Botosani.
“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.
Ilfoven Voluntari parted ways with Mihai Popa and Ulrich Meleke this summer, but brought in Rada Bobok (Farul) and Ljuban Krepul (Rapid).
Last season, the two teams met in the regular season, with Farul beating the Volunteers 2-1 in the home round, resulting in a 1-1 draw.
Superbet offers odds of 1.33 on the 1X prediction: home win or draw in the match Farul – Voluntari.
