Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match will be a good result for the home team. Universitatea Craiova plays in their best condition and should adopt a very offensive posture for this first game at home, motivated by the great performance in the first game. Otelul, in turn, should adopt a much more reactive posture, playing on the opponent's mistake. We expect an open game, dominated by the home team, but with chances of goals for both sides. Therefore, betting on Universitatea Craiova's victory at half-time seems to be a good alternative.
