Iasi have quite solid start of the new season with two wins, two draws and one defeat after five matches played. The team is currently on fifth place with eight points gained. Three away matches of this season ended with 0-2 defeat to CS U. Craiova, 0-0 draw with Concordia and 3-0 win over Targu Mures.
Steaua are undefeated in recent 12 head-to-heads with Iasi, winning 10 of these games since 2008. The hosts should battle for three points and any other results would be unacceptable. Indeed, the hosts appear to be favorites and have all chances to improve leading position in the Romanian Liga 1.
Prediction for the match: Steaua to win.
