Betting tips — CS U Craiova vs Astra Giurgiu — Romania Liga 1

CS U Craiova vs Astra Giurgiu — both of the two sides are looking for their first win in Liga 1. The team coached by Sumudica has an excuse however, the fact that they’ve played in Europa League. CS U Craiova is not playing at all as they used to in the last season, and the trainer’s couple Sandoi — Cartu are still trying to put the team on the right track. Even if Astra lost in a disastrous manner, 1–5 in the last round, we propose as our Free betting tip Astra Giurgiu or Draw.

CS U Craiova drew against FC Botosani in the first round and dropped all the points behind in Stefan cel Mare against Dinamo. The great problem for Craiova is the offensive end as the team has not score a single goal since May. Craiova did not even score in any of their friendly games. This comes as a surprise given the offensive players that they’ve got: Curelea, Ferfelea, Bawab or Nuno Rocha, all of them being good players for the Liga 1 level. Therefore, the problem must be a psychological one and the team shall find its rhythm after scoring the first goal and ending the drought, last goal being scored in the 3–0 from the 30th of May against CFR Cluj. They’ve brought in a new Bulgarian midfielder this week — Zlatinski. A couple of players also come back after their injuries: Acka, Tarnacop and Madson.

CS U Craiova probable line-up: Balgradean — Dumitras, Acka, Popov, Vatajelu — N. Rocha, Mateiu, Ferfelea, Baluta — Bawab, Curelea.

Astra did not quite recover after their humiliating loss against ASA Tg Mures, only obtaining a draw in Europa League against Inverness. That result can however be recorded as a positive one, as the team has qualified for the 3rd Round, where they’re going to meet the strong English side West Ham United. For the time being, Astra has quite a powerful squad at the moment, with new signings: Filipe Teixeira, Geraldo Alves, Florin Lovin, Pedro Quieiros or Boldrin, while Alibec and De Amorim still have not departed for Steaua as the deals seem to have reached a dead end. As far as the strength of the team is concerned, Astra is far superior and if the couple Teixeira — Budescu is going to do their job, Astra has a real shot of getting out of Craiova with all the three points.

Astra probable line-up: Lung Jr. — Pedro Queiros, Gaman, Geraldo Alves, Jr. Morais — Takayuki Seto, Boldrin — Enache, F. Teixeira, William — C. Budescu.
