Sepsi Sf. Gheorghe take on the visitors Bodo/Glimt in the first leg of UEFA Conference League qualification finals. The match will be played on Thursday, August 24th at Stadionul Sepsi (Sfantu Gheorghe).
Last season, Sepsis struggled to make an impact in the championship, not at all... The team barely made it into the top six in the country, and here they found themselves solely due to their performance in the cup. However, Sepsis strategically strengthened and became a formidable opponent for everyone. There was a series of six matches without conceding any goals. Their pragmatic and careful gameplay was yielding results. In European competitions, their performance was simply frightening. Crushing CSKA Sofia, then a coaching victory against Chebotaev in Kazakhstan. No, the team wasn't afraid to play so far away, in unfamiliar conditions. It was simply wild discipline that paid off. The defense deserves to be highlighted once again!

Bodo/Glimt continue to fit into all of my predictions. Even after the match in Armenia, I was convinced that the team had a significant reserve of strength. However, Knutsen's team gradually started to slow down. This began to manifest in the fact that all the players in the midfield and central defenders were consistently receiving yellow cards. Substitutions were being made earlier than usual. And in the championship, Viking are now right on their heels, and they can't afford to drop points there. And now there are evident problems, so wouldn't it be wise for the team to ease off the throttle a bit!? After all, they lost to Viking precisely due to their style of play, with Bodo/Glimt not creating that many chances. And in Europe, there haven't been opponents as dangerous yet who could punish a game without control of the midfield.
It's about time for these fearless guys from Norway to tire out. Playing openly in every match, consistently scoring and racking up so many goals. And here's the perfect opponent that could disrupt all of that. The potential champion of Norway has a very tight schedule, and everyone is gradually losing steam. It's fortunate that there are no injured players for now. Meanwhile, the season in Romania is just gaining momentum, and Sepsis are brimming with confidence. Stringent series, a demonstrative defensive play against all their opponents! And all this while having a complete lack of injuries. Today, Romania will play from a position of strength and impose their game. So, the match will be decided by fatigue, favoring the hosts.
Prediction for the match: Bodo/Glimt to score under 1.5 goals.
