On Wednesday, starting at 17:00, Petrolul Ploiesti – FC Arges will be disputed, in the 29th round of the Romanian League 2, 2018-2019 edition.
The Pistons defeated in the tournament with no show, 3-0, in the only recent dispute between the two bands.
The “Yellow Wolves” returned to life, with the return of Gigi Multescu to the team squad. Petrol defeated rival U Cluj, score 1-0, but also the band of Florin Bratu, Aerostar Bacau, scoring 2-0 away. The group on “Ilie Oana” has recovered strongly in the last two rounds, currently occupying the third position in the second league stand, with 59 points, 5 away from Academica Clinceni leader. Ploiesti will take a serious option for promotion in case of a possible triumph in front of the Piet.
FC Arges had a similar route since Augustin Eduard’s takeover, 6 points out of 6. The “white-violet eagles” keep their place in the top 6, with 50 points, and depending on the course of the last rounds, can improve the situation. FC Arges gave up Emil Sandoi, after the annoying game, but also because of the endless line of white draws. Pitestenii will have a particularly hard duel in Ploiesti, but they will not be easily beaten. We have to mention that FC Arges scored only 12 goals in the 14 stages played away, winning 4 games.
The hosts will benefit from the “hot” public on “Ilie Oana”, which is why the victory will be much closer.
PREDICTION: Petrolul to win @ 1.50
