Astra Giurgiu vs Universitatea Craiova Picks

“Black and White” had four defeats in play-off, but in the last round they won 1-0 at Sfântu Gheorghe. If they manage to win home with the Oltenians, they can hope again in 3rd place and in the Europa League, a race they can reach and win the Romanian Cup. The “white-blue” remained in the summer without Alexandru Băluţă, in the winter without Alexandru Mitriţă, who were sold in the Czech Republic and the USA and after the injury of Elvir Koljić, they became a team that could no longer beat anyone. Patron Mihai Rotaru put the money in his pocket without bringing other top players, the team went into crisis and guilty was considered Devis Mangia, who was kicked out and replaced by Corneliu Papur
