Voluntari represent top Romanian league but they have almost got relegated from there at the end of last season. The team have finished sixth in the league with 29 points and had to play in relegation play out. Voluntari have beaten UTA Arad 3-1 on aggregate after taking confident lead in the matchup with 3-0 win in home leg. The upcoming clash will be the first one for the team this midseason.
The opponents haven’t met before on football fields. Considering the level of defensive line of the Russian side and the fact that Romanian team play their first match after one-month break, we can expect the opponents to crate small number of opportunities in this match and that should lead to a low-scoring result.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals.
