On Friday from 18:30, Gaz Metan Mediaș will receive on his own field in the prologue of the 10th round of League 1 the visit of the Craiova University formation.
The duel will be practically one of six points considering the aspirations that the two teams have in this competitive season but especially the situation in the standings.
After nine rounds, the Transylvanians are on the 3rd place with 18 points, while the Oltenians are on the 5th place with 16 points. Gaz Metan Mediaș comes after a cold shower in Ovidiu in front of Gică Hagi’s Future, where he lost 4-1, thus suffering the first failure of the season while Craiova University is in a state of disrepair after giving up the derby Bane with FCSB, score 1-0, thus shadowing the debut of Victor Pițurcă on the bench of Science.
The Oltenians have their advantage in this duel the last 5 “direct”, prevailing in three games, drawing in one and suffering a failure. It should be recalled that only in one duel of the last 5 have scored more than two goals!
Given the huge stake of the three points put into play we expect a strong confrontation. From a value point of view, the Oltenians are better on paper but Gaz Metan Mediaș is a redoubtable cheese on its own ground, the Transylvanians having an incredible series of 15 consecutive matches without fail in all competitions in front of their own supporters, who have won 9 victories and 6 draws. The last failure of the Gas on his own land dates from 17.02.2019, 0-1 score on his own field with Sepsi OSK Sf. Gheorghe.
