Academica Clinceni Team News
The two teams close the play-off ranking, FC Botosani being on the 5th place with 31 points and Academica on the 6th place with 26 points. Both Moldovans and Ilfovs managed to get results in the last round that turned all predictions upside down. The group from the North of the country won in Bănie with 3-2, making the Oltenians forget the title for good, while Ilie Poenaru’s team drew spectacularly 2-2 at Girugiu with FCSB, blocking the way of the “red-blues” to the first place, one that Gigi Beali’s team would have reached if it had prevailed, given that the leader of CFR Cluj was killed at home by Sepsi OSK, score 1-0.
Apparently, the match is without stake, being hard to believe that on this season finale FC Botoșani or Academica will manage to overcome their condition and finish on a higher place than the one they occupy at the start of this confrontation. The people from Botosani have to recover a gap of five points from the 4th place where Sepsi OSK is, the same distance separating the Moldovans from the Ilfovians who close the “top 6”. However, a lot of pride is at stake, Marius Croitoru’s boys being without a away victory in the official matches with Poenaru’s team.
FC Botosani Team News
Christopher Braun and Alexandru Tiganasu will be suspended for this match, their absences will lead to the tenure on the flanks in the Moldovan defense of the players Andrei Patache and Marcel Holzmann. On the other hand, the Ilfovians do not face absences, Ilie Poenaru will throw in the fight in general the same 11 that the previous round drew with FCSB.
Botoșani produced a show in this play-off, having the second attack with 10 goals scored, after FCSB (11 goals) but also the weakest defense, 12 goals received, a chapter in which they are followed even by Ilfov with 11 goals conceded.
These are all prerequisites to watch a match with goals again and we note that in two of the last three “live”, the selection “both score and over 2.5 goals” in the match was the winner. In the regular season, it was 0-0 in Botosani and 2-1 for Academica in Clinceni, the Moldovans prevailing with the same score in the round of this play-off in their own fief.
