Astra vs FC Voluntari tips and predictions

Intense Liga 1 fixture should be tight

Astra and FC Voluntari are sharing 13th place with 24 points in Liga 1 so it's all to play for and with no evidence to pick either side they may well share the honours.

All outcomes are on the table here but the value has to be with with a stalemate. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick.

Both of these sides have looked strong in defence. In their last 17 matches Astra have only conceded 0.7 goals. Meanwhile FC Voluntari have only conceded 0.7 goals per game on average in their last 16 away matches.

In previous matches in this head-to-head 5 of the last 13 have ended with parity.

Don't be disappointed if one of these sides tries to lock this game down as the match is likely to be tight. Should it play out as many expect then the No BTTS bet could be sensible. And if you're interested in the goal line, it's no more than one goal picked as the best play considering how that market has been priced up.

Astra have drawn 6 of their last 14 matches on their own soil. Also FC Voluntari have drawn 7 of their last 19 matches. Their most recent tied match was when they shared the spoils with Chindia Targoviste last Monday and while the prediction is for any draw, a repeat 0-0 might be a good shout here. The feeling is it will be a tightly contested match-up but the pick has to be with draw and the stalemate looks likely.
