On Monday, at 18:30, FC Voluntari will receive the visit of FC Botosani in a match for the second round of the League 1 play-off.
After halving the points and following the first round of the play-out, we can see that no band is completely deprived of the relegation worries, Leader is currently the Iasi, with 20 points and an extra match, with a only six points ahead of the “red area”, or, more precisely, the place of the dam, occupied by FC Voluntari himself. Botosani, with 19 points, could begin to tremble seriously in the event of a Monday night defeat in front of the Volunteer because the distance would shrink considerably. Realistically speaking, it is not surprising that Moldovans are ranked second with victory in the face of the Volunteer. The Ilfovians were pleasantly surprised in the first round of the play-off, imposing the score of 2-0 on the field of Poli Iasi, showing a solid evolution.
“It’s a very important match for us from many points of view. First of all for the situation in the leaderboard, where the points between us and the dam are very tight, five points, then for our morale, you know very well that we do not have a good time, we have two games since we did not score, the last games at home we did not manage to win, even if we created many situations to mark, we did not materialize them. It will be a difficult move for us. We meet a team with a very good morale, a four-stage non-invasive team, a well organized team with a very good coach, but we are ready for this game. We trained very well this week, we’re going to win at the Volunteers. This is the basic word in the locker room. We have to recover our lost points at home. We have to get out of this hot zone, we have to regain our morale, which is fragile because in the last two games we did not win. I have great confidence in my team, I have great confidence in the players, there are 13 games to play. We do not have to wait for the last parties, it must be months to impose. ”
In the last ten direct confrontations between the two bands, Botosani was imposed five times, Volunteers in three other rows, while the other two duels ended in equality:
Three of the previous four straight games ended with goals on both sides;
The last direct game took place about a month ago, when Botosani was forced to score 1-0 at home;
Given the circumstances of this game, we expect a relatively spectacular unfolding of hostilities. Taking into account the solid evolution of the Voluntari last round, but also the offensive appetite of the Moldovans, who did not impress with anything in the white draw in the first stage of play-out against Chiajnei, we think we can easily assist at minimum two successes in this dispute.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / NO @ 1,76
