Sepsi OSK – FC Voluntari will take place on Tuesday at 18:00. The duel from Sf. Gheorghe will open the intermediate round, the 4th of this play-out season in League 1.
At the resumption of the football season in Romania, Sepsi OSK Sf. Gheorghe managed only one draw, score 1-1 at home with FC Hermannstadt. With the obtained point, Leo Grozavu’s team consolidated its second place in the play-out with 20 points, but lost the contact with Viitorul, which after the victory with Poli Iași was seven lengths apart. On the other hand, FC Voluntari achieved the score of the third round, winning with 3-0 the derby with the rival from Ilfov in the fight to avoid relegation, Academica Clinceni. Following this result, FC Voluntari accumulated 15 points, handing over the “flashlight” to Clinceni, making a jump of three places in the ranking, reaching the 5th place in a tie with Poli Iași which fell on the dam with the same number of points but with a goal difference lower than the Volunteer.
– Sepsi has only one victory in 8 confrontations with FC Voluntari in League 1, the Ilfov team having a superior record with 3 victories, the remaining 4 duels ending undecided;
– In 5 of the 8 “direct” confrontations, at least 3 goals in the match were scored each time;
– FC Voluntari is unbeaten in the last 6 consecutive matches in League 1 (n.r. regular season and play-out) with 4 wins and 2 draws;
– 5 consecutive matches in League 1 and the Romanian Cup has Sesi without defeat winning a game and drawing in another 4 rows;
The match in Sf. Gheorghe is announced to be extremely interesting considering the form that the two teams are going through. Sepsi is a team that gives up hard on its own field while FC Voluntari was reborn under the command of Mihai Teja. From a sure candidate for relegation, Ilfov are about to reissue last season’s performance when after finishing the regular season on their knees, they had no emotion in the play-out reaching their goal.
A possible negative result would complicate the situation of the team prepared by Leo Grozavu, Sepsi will in turn seriously enter the fight to avoid relegation. We expect a match in which Sepsi will have the initiative and force the victory while FC Voluntari will do everything possible to secure the point it has at the start of the match.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / NO @ 1,71
