These home players are making the most of a recent purple patch and they have looked energised. Univ. Craiova have scored three or more times in 8 of their recent 18 matches and that's been backed up throughout the squad. At the back they have kept a clean sheet in 12 of their last 20 home games.

There have been periods when FC Botosani have lost their shape and they haven't had the requisite discipline in their 18-yard box. They have conceded three or more times in 2 of their last 7 matches. It's not a trend they want to continue given the scale of the task.

They've met several times before. Univ. Craiova have won 5 of the last 10 fixtures between the two teams. You can chose to ignore them but head-to-head stats give reasons to believe in the home win.
