Match of the Day 23.05.2014

 

Tonight at 21:00 – is a very important event at National’s Arena Bucharest –  Roumania Cup final

Steaua Bucuresti -Astra Giurgiu

This important match will put face to face the best teams in Romania League 1, both are on the top of the ranking, Steaua is the firts one with 5 points away of Astra.
Steaua is in the final after she  eliminate one by one  Avântul Bârsana (4-0), ACS Poli Timişoara (2-0), Oţelul Galaţi (2-0) and Dinamo (5-2,1-1).

The coach Laurentiu Reghecampf tried various forms of the game and change the players and motivate them day after day with a lot of work and trainings.
The last matches played by Steaua, 3 draws: 2-2 Otelul, 0-0 Petrolul, 2-2 Pandurii.
Last succes was with U. Cluj 1-0, but for them the most important victory 5-2 was with Steaua’s greatest rival, Dinamo.
I checked the atmosphere at Bucharest and it seems that Steaua is not only the favorite of this match,  this team is already sure of the victory.

By the other side, Astra is in a good shape and she ends very good that season – 4 victorys one after another and a draw.
This week Astra won at Vaslui 4-1 and that rise the team spirit.
In Romania Cup, Astra won with Berceni 4-1 in first round and with Viitorul 3-0. A tough match was at Medias where they won with 1-0, but the most difficult for them was the match with Petrolul Ploiesti,
was hard because the competition was very close and the match result at the limit 0-0 in tour and 2-1 return  where the qualification gol was scored in overtime.
Is a pity that Daniel Isaila can not count on Gardos si Kapetanos, because they are injured, but despite this Astra is ready for this tough match.

The last head to head match between those two ends 1-1 was in december 2013, but before this Steaua was the winner.

 

 

                            OUR VERDICT is: x at the break
