On Thursday, starting at 16:00, FC Viitorul – Racing Luxembourg will play in the Europa League preliminaries.
The two bands met once in history – in the tournament tour, disputed in Luxembourg, when the visiting team was forced to score 2-0.
Surely, Viitorul has “lost” in terms of value after splitting out of the most important players like Ganea or Cicaldau, but every time that happened Gica Hagi has pulled another “as” from the academy youth, the Future still proposing a wealth of young talents. We are convinced that this season we will see this pattern again, and the team of the Romanians will remain extremely important for the Romanian championship. In the perspective of the Racing duel, things seem quite simple: the difference in value between the two bands is extremely important and, in addition, the Future comes after having benefited from a much better training period than that of the opponents.
On the other hand, Racing is a platoon in his native country, where he finished the last season in position 7, qualifying in the Europa League after winning the cup. In the tour it did not show any consistency, Racing being far exceeded by the Future, the final score of the game being extremely gentle compared to the field reality. Thus, we can not expect the small band to issue claims from the return game.
PREDICTION: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.60
