FC Viitorul vs Voluntari
FC Viitorul Constanta are doing well under former Romanian international and legend Georghe Hagi and sit fourth in the table, six points behind leaders Steaua Bucharest, with one game in hand. At home they are unbeaten in their last six outings in all competitions, including four wins, and hope to extend that streak when FC Voluntari come for a visit. Viitorul have won the last four matches against tonight’s opponent and should be clear favorites for another here. We expect a pretty close encounter but think that the home team will be too strong in the end.
Team news: Hagi has basically a fully fit squad of players to choose from. The only worry is Christian Ganea who is a doubt but should be able to play.
Voluntari are going through a difficult period and their poor performance overall (9th in the league) has led the club to take the controversial decision to penalize the players by not paying out wages. It’s hard to see that it will have the desired effect even though they knocked a poor Clinceni side out of the cup on Wednesday. With a couple of key players out and a general dissatisfaction in the squad we believe they will struggle tonight.
Team news: Voluntari boss Dinu Todoran have to do without goalkeeper Mircea Bonrescu as well as top scorer Petre-Daniel Ivanovici.
