Petrolul Potcoava vs CS U Craiova 2 tips and predictions

Don't write off Petrolul Potcoava

Given how the match has been priced up, it isn't sensible to go with the visitors. If the home side embraces the challenge ahead of them, they can get the job done.

Petrolul Potcoava will hope that CS U Craiova 2 are off-colour in order to add another L to their recent results. The last 10 fixtures have not all gone to plan for the away squad; they've lost 9 of them. That doesn't look like the recent record of a side that deserve to be as short as this.

Petrolul Potcoava need to get all thoughts of defeat out of their mind. The hosts have been making the most of a recent run of form at their own ground. They scored two or more goals in 5 of their recent 7 home matches and that approach has married up nicely at the back where they have conceded no more than once in 7 of their last 10 games.

Occasionally CS U Craiova 2 haven't had the right stuff around their 18-yard box. They have conceded two or more goals in 11 of their last 12 matches. To add to their concerns, goals are in short supply for them too. In front of goal the visitors have been underwhelming. They've scored one or less goals in 7 of their last 9 matches.

Most observers believe that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for CS U Craiova 2. However the odds-against for the No BTTS is actually the best bet from that market. And for fans of the goal line, it's fewer than four goals picked as the best play considering the prices available there.

The hosts can be pleased with their recent displays in all facets of the game and they'll need to call on that experience if they hope to deny the visitors.
