Universitatea Cluj Botoşani betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match will be a game with a lot of goals. Universitatea Cluj should adopt a very offensive stance in their debut at this stage next to their fans, seeking to attack from the start. Botosani, in turn, should not be intimidated by playing away from home, as that is where they usually score the most goals. We expect an open game, dominated by the home team, but with chances of goals for both sides. Therefore, betting on the over 2.0 goals (Asian market) in the match seems to be a good alternative.

Preview
U Cluj and Botoşani meet at Cluj Arena, in a match for the 1st round of the Liga I. The recent head‑to‑head record favours the home team, since they have a record of 4 wins and 2 draws in the last 6 matches. The last head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 03‑03‑2024, and ended in a (1‑0) win by Universitatea Cluj. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis U Cluj

The home team plays a match for the Liga I (Relegation Round) after having finished 7th in the previous stage (Regular Season), in which they have conquered 42 points. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses in away matches, with 24 goals scored and 15 conceded; against 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 14 goals scored and 13 conceded. For the league, U Cluj won 17 points out of 30 possible points, after 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses in the last 10 home matches. They have conceded the first goal in 14 of their 30 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 2.

Universitatea Cluj had a reasonable season, but not far from what was expected, where they lost their place in the champion division in the last round. The team usually plays in a 4-4-2, organizing attacks from the flanks. They have been through a difficult time recently but are now undefeated for six rounds again and should adopt a very dominant stance in this relegation division. Furthermore, they conceded goals in almost every game but also scored in the majority, converting in two of the last five. It appears that the entire squad will be available for the match.

Confirmed Lineup: Edvinas Gertmonas, Dorinel Oancea, Lucas Masoero, Thalisson Kelven, Robert Mihai Silaghi, Marco Fossati, Roger, Valentin Simion, Dan Nistor, Daniel Popa, Dragos Gheorghe.
Coach: E. Neagoe.

Analysis Botoşani

The away team comes to this round of the Liga I (Relegation Round) after having ended the last qualifying stage (Regular Season) in the 16th position, with 21 points won. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 3 draws and 10 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 30 conceded; against 2 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 14 goals scored and 25 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Botoşani has a record of 1 win, 2 draws and 7 losses, so they have won 5 points out of 30 possible. In their away league matches there are a few frequent results at half‑time: 1‑0 (6 out of 15 matches) and 0‑0 (6 out of 15 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 13 of the last 15 matches for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 6 of the last 30 matches for the Liga I, they have reached half‑time in front in 2 of those 6 matches and have held on to the lead in 2. In 30 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 21 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 15 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 6 of their 16 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

Botosani had a terrible season, but not far from what was expected, finishing at the bottom and obviously in the relegation division, needing to fight for maintenance at this stage. The team has gone six rounds without winning despite its attack scoring regularly, coming up empty in just ten matches, the majority at home. The team usually plays in a 4-3-3, with its main offensive references being strikers Iulian Costin Petrisor, Sekou Camara and Virgile Pinson. It appears that the full squad will be available for the match.

Confirmed Lineup: Răzvan Cristian Ducan, Andrei Miron, Daniel Celea, Răzvan Bogdan Creţ, Romario Benzar, Aldaír, Ioan Filip, Victor Dican, Eduard Florescu, E. López, Juan Kaprof.
Coach: M. Croitoru.
