U Craiova scored at least one goal in all stages
U Craiova opened the score through Vasile Constantin (3) in the match played in Târgu Mureş with FC Hermannstadt, who had only defeats in the regular season, but surprisingly, the Aredelians won by 2-1, having a very good second half. Sibiu also had a bar, by Stefan Blănaru (77). In the first 3 stages, the team coached by Corneliu Papură defeated them 3-2, at home, on Academica Clinceni, 2-0 away on Dinamo Bucharest and 1-0 at home on Chindia Târgoviște.

Sepsi OSK has 4 draws in 4 stages
Sepsi Sfântu Gheorghe won with a good chance 1p in the match played at home with FC Viitorul, in the 4th stage of League 1. Although they scored the first through Nicolae Carnat (37), who was in his first goal in Liga 1, the “secuii” have were clearly dominated in the second half of Constanţa, who returned the result through goals scored by Andrei Ciobanu (47) and Eric de Oliveira (52 penalty), both coming after big mistakes of Croatian defender Hrvoje Barišić. Covăsnenii broke the equalizer in the final seconds of the match, following a goal scored by Algerian Rachid Bouhenna (90 + 3), at a stage in which the guests blamed Virgil Ghita. The team coached by Csaba László had only draws so far, 0-0 away with FC Voluntari 0-0 at home with FCSB and 1-1 away with Gaz Metan Mediaş. Sepsi OSK is 8th in the standings, with 4p.

Univ Craiova vs Sepsi Picks
The hosts played on Thursday with AEK Athens in the third round of the Europa League and saw also with FC Hermannstadt that it is becoming increasingly difficult in the European and Liga 1. Oltenia have played 4 more matches with Səbail FK and Honvéd Budapest, with the latter also having extensions. The guests have quality players, but they need time for them to have game relationships as the coach Csaba László wants. Covasnii need a victory, to have another tone, but it will be difficult to get it in the next two stages, because they will play with Craiova University and CFR Cluj. The “white-blue” had weak developments at home, however, gaining the chance and always at the limit with Clinceni, Səbail and Chindia or drawing with Honvéd. The “white-reds” are more rested and more motivated, so I propose “double” X2 in the game in Bania, where I do not see Science to win.
Our Prediction: X2
Odds: 2.15
