Petrolul 52 ended their unbeaten streak with a minimal 0:1 loss to Farul in the last round and will now try to get back on the winning path in pursuit of the top spot in the second group. Despite their ambitions, the team has not yet won as a guest in this phase of the championship, with both of their visits so far ending in a draw. Their last away win dates back to November last year.
Arad stable at home, but inconsistent latelyThe hosts also suffered a loss in the last round - 0:3 to Hermannstadt, making it their third consecutive match without a win. Nevertheless, they perform steadily at home and have not lost in their last three home games. Additionally, Arad have not been defeated in their last five encounters against Petrolul, including a 1:0 victory in their last direct clash.
Prediction: DrawBoth teams are aiming for different goals, but their form in recent matches shows some instability. Considering Petrolul's performance away from home, as well as Arad's strength at home, a draw seems like a likely outcome in this match.
