FC Hermannstadt v U Craiova Picks
The Transylvanians have no points after 3 rounds, while the Oltenians have 9 points. The Sibiu people long for a victory in order to get out of the crisis. Coach Constantin Enache also needs a positive result, especially since he will be traveling to Gruia and if his team has 0p after 5 stages, he may be dismissed. The Craiovans come after the match with Honvéd Budapest and probably will not force too much on Târgu Mureş, especially since they put much effort in the “double” with the Hungarians.
Our Prediction: 2
Odds: 1.40
