Astra Giurgiu vs FC Botosani Picks
Both teams have new coaches, Dan Alexa, respectively Marius Croitoru and many new players. In the regular season it was 1-1 both in Botoşani tour and return to Giurgiu. Until now the Moldavians have played 6 times in Giurgiu with Astra having a very poor balance, 5 consecutive defeats and one draw. In 4 of the 6 matches played at the “Marin Anastasovici” stadium, FC Botoşani did not score any giurgiuvens. It will be the first match of this season, the players are still not in the rhythm, and the game relations are still not set, so it is expected to be a few goals game.
