FC Viitorul vs Astra Giurgiu Picks
This match will be influenced by the outcome of the Cluj match between CFR and Craiova University. It is hard to believe that the Oltenians will win in Gruia, so that Gica Hagi will have to play with the owners and try to win 6p in the last two stages, that the Future will evolve again in the Europa League even if he misses the Romanian Cup finals . Astra Giurgiu totally disappointed in this play-off and it does not really matter what he will do to Ovidiu. That does not mean that “black demons” will be safe victims in front of the constants, but it remains to be seen whether they “will put the bone” or not. However, the goal of the Giurgiuvens is to win the Romanian Cup.
