Botosani are the team from mid-table of Romanian Liga 1. They finished 10th in the league last season with no chances to finish in top half of the standings. The visiting side played three sparring matches during summer pre-season, drawing with Dynamo Kyiv and Valanciennes, both 1-1, and losing to Jablonec, 0-2.
The opponents finished next to each other on Liga 1 last season with one-point difference. However, Botosani were stronger in both head-to-heads played this year, thrashing today’s hosts 6-1 and 4-1. These two matches were played not that long ago, in April and May. It gives us the group to expect the visitors to be closer to an away win in the match with such convenient opponents.
Prediction for the match: Botosani to win with +0.0 Asian handicap.
