Astra – FCSB: 8th May 2017

Respecting the coat of arms

Astra Giurgiu takes the last place in the League 1 ranking, with 26 points gathered in 8 stages. So Marius Sumudica’s band is ready to ruin their “red-blue” plans, and statistics give them a giurgiuven win: only three successes have made the stelisti from a total of 16 Astra tours. Moreover, only one has been recorded over the last five years, “astralli” proving that they are a hard nut every time they meet the FCSB. After all, the team’s technician, Marius Sumudica, told the press conference before the game that “honor is above all,” canceling, at least until the time of the match, any doubt about the correctness of the hosts.

Force to win

The FCSB has complicated its fate in the play-off by the negative results recorded lately, and at this moment it ranks 3rd in the League 1 ranking. The Saturday’s success in Cluj (3-0) Dinamo temporarily propelled the “dogs” to the first position in the hierarchy, thus obliging the “red-blue” to win on Monday in Giurgiu. Moreover, in the event of a draw at the end of the play-off with any of the Future or Dinamo would be at the disadvantage of the Reghecampf, as the results of the direct matches give them a win for the opponents.

Conclusions & tips

Given the circumstances of this game, we expect a balanced deployment of hostilities. Astra has always proven to be a “red-blue” red opponent, but given the current situation in which Astra has already suffered 6 defeats in this play-off, it would be time for the FCSB to gather the rows at a time So important. Even so, we anticipate a certain balance, and if the FCSB succeeds in imposing it, it will be tormented.
