1.87Under 2.5 Goals

The Romanian champion Universitatea Craiova is still searching for its optimal rhythm, having recorded two wins and two losses in its first four matches of the new season in Romania. The team was eliminated by Levski in the Champions League qualifiers but continues its participation in the Europa League, where in just a few days it faces an important playoff clash against Armenian Ararat.

Oțelul can challenge the champion

It seems that not everything in the Universitatea Craiova squad is functioning at its best, and the upcoming away match could prove problematic. The hosts started the season with a victory, but in their next three league matches, they recorded two draws and one loss. However, last season they performed significantly better at home and even managed to win their home game against Universitatea Craiova.

Prediction: Under 2.5 goals

I expect a relatively tense and cautious clash, in which Universitatea Craiova will likely have one eye on their important match in the Europa League just a few days later. The hosts have already shown that they can create problems for this opponent on their own turf. Therefore, I do not expect many goals, and my prediction is for under 2.5 goals.
