Viitorul Constanța – Academica Clinceni will take place on Friday at 16:00, the confrontation will count for the ninth round of the League 1 play-out. After two white draws in the regular season, Viitorul won the tour of this play -out on “Clinceni Arena” with 3-2.
The future leads this League 1 play-out with 35 points, seven points more than FC Voluntari, a team that is in second place and 9 points above Academica Clincei, which closes the podium. The two white draws recorded in the regular season with the Ilfov team cost the “King” team dearly, Viitorul missing the play-off. With four more points in the standings, if he had managed to defeat Ilie Poenaru’s team at Clinceni but also at Ovidiu, Viitorul would have been 100% in the playoffs. Hagi did not tolerate the two semi-failures and in the round of this play-out he administered to Clinceni a defeat, score 3-2, at the end of a match in which Academica led at one point with 2-1 on the scoreboard.
-Academica suffered its first round in the last round after 4 consecutive victories ticked in the play-out with the score of 1-0;
-The future is next to FC Voluntari the only team that defeated Academica in the League play-out round 1;
-The future is undefeated in the last 4 official matches, with two wins and two draws;
Despite the four 1-0 victories ticked in the play-out, the game with Dinamo showed that Academica is still a limited team, the biggest problem facing Ilie Poenaru being the thinness of the group, the reserves not being worth the holders. Even if it is on the 3rd place with 26 points, Academica did not solve the equation of presence definitively in the next season of League 1, a series of two or three negative results could easily bring Ilie Poenaru’s team in the “red zone” of the ranking.
On the other hand, we can’t talk about the same problem, Viitorul being by far the most valuable team in the play-out, Hagi can easily line up at any time two different formulas that will cope brilliantly in League 1. Viitorul will surely press acceleration and in this match it is known that regardless of the opponent or competition, the “King” is “set” to win, playing everything on the attack card.
PREDICTION: Viitorul Constanta to win @ 1,57
