Unirea Slobozia take on the visitors Voluntaryin the second leg of relegation finals in Romanian Superliga. The match will be played on Monday, June 2nd at May 1 Stadium (Slobozia).
Unirea Slobozia are trying to hold their ground. The Yellow and Blues have spent much of the past few decades bouncing between Romania’s second and third divisions. In 2024, they finally claimed the Liga II title and stepped up to the top flight. Their first season at this level brought mixed results. On the one hand, they managed to stay ahead of two rivals — Gloria, who were stuck at the bottom all year, and Sepsi, thanks to a crucial 2-1 home win over the latter in the relegation group. On the other hand, they couldn’t fully secure their Liga 1 status and were forced into the promotion/relegation playoff. In the first leg, played away, they equalized after conceding early, but ultimately lost 1-2.

Voluntari, founded in 2010, were not exactly a brand-new project — and yet quickly rose to prominence, lifting both the Romanian Cup and Super Cup by 2017. The club had some decent campaigns in Liga 1, but last season they dropped down to Liga II after finishing 15th. In 2024, while they did reach the Romanian Cup semifinals, their league form was inconsistent. They only finished sixth in the regular season, but improved in the promotion group, rising to fourth. That was enough to enter the playoffs. In the first leg against Unirea, they clinched a dramatic 2-1 win with a goal in the 86th minute.
Before this tie, the sides had met four times between 2013 and 2022 — Voluntari won all of them. Now playing at home and needing a win to have any chance of survival, Unirea are expected to rise to the occasion. We back them to secure a victory in the return leg.
Prediction for the match: Unirea Slobozia to win.
