On Thursday, July 18, starting at 17:00, Craiova University will meet Sabail in the Europa League qualifiers.
University of Craiova, the best team in the tour
In the tournament, the Oltenians opened the score by A. Mateiu and A. Ramazanov set the score after the first 45 minutes, 1-1. After the break, N. Bancu and A.M Roman made 3-1 for our band, and the same A. Ramazanov set the final score, 3-2 for Craiova University. Even if he lost to a minimal difference, Sabail showed his limits in the tour, Corneliu Papura’s team being the band that dominated the game in all chapters.
Probable teams:
University of Craiova (4-3-3): Pigliacelli – Martić, Kelić, Acka, Bancu – A. Ivanov, Mateiu, Qaka – Bărbuţ, M. Roman II, Vătăjelu
Sabail FK (4-3-3): Bozhinovski – Abbasov, Yunuszade, Erico, Rahimov – Amirguliyev, Essien, Cociuc – Hamdi, Abbasov, Ramazanov
Craiova University has clear first chance at victory and will surely force the victory for the UEFA coefficient, but probably the Olteni coach will also think about the Sunday match with Dinamo in League 1, when he will play away. Under these circumstances, we should witness an open match, because Sabail has no reason to defend himself, and Craiova University has shown us both in the Europa League and in League 1 that he scores and receives goals with ease.
PREDICTION: Over 2,5 goals @ 1,74
