The University of Craiova – Gaz Metan Mediaș will take place on Monday at 17:00, the duel will count for the 12th round of League 1.
The victory that FCSB registered in the non-appearance score in this round with UTA on “Național Arena”, 3-0, put a terrible pressure on Oltenia. In order not to lose contact with the “red-blues” who are currently five lengths, the University is doomed to win the duel in the epilogue of this round on its own ground with Methane Gas. After starting with a draw in his new term on the bench of Oltenia, score 0-0 with FC Botoșani away, Papură ticked a categorical victory in the Romanian Cup, score 5-0 with Progresul Spartac. Also after a categorical victory in the Romanian Cup comes Gaz Metan, the Transylvanians winning by a tennis score, 6-0 on the field of FC Voluntari. In League 1, Gaz Metan is on the 10th place with 13 points.
Gaz Metan have not drawn in their away matches this season, with three wins and three defeats;
No draw was recorded this season by the University on its own field, with three victories and two defeats;
After two spectacular victories obtained away in League 1 with CFR Cluj, score 2-1 and UTA Arad, score 3-1, the Transylvanians lost the previous round on their own field with FCSB, score 3-2. It should be noted that the selection “over 2.5 goals” has been winning every time in the last five official matches held by Gaz Metan in all competitions. On the other hand, in the last six stages of League 1 supported by Craiova, at most one goal was scored!
If the Transylvanians would be satisfied with a point from this trip, instead the Oltenians have only the option of victory to remain in the FCSB’s net. Even if they disappointed in the last two performances in Bănie, giving way to indigo with 1-0 with Chindia and Clinceni, the University clearly leaves as a big favorite in this match, the group that Papură has being at least one class above the Transylvanians. An aspect that can weigh in the economy of this duel is also given by “direct”, the Oltenians having seven victories compared to only two of Gaz, other three games ending in a draw.
PREDICTION: U Craiova to win @ 1,55
