Concordia vs CSM Iasi Prediction & Betting tips
April 28, 2017, Chiajna, Stadion: “Concordia”, hour: 18:30 (League 1 – Stage 8 – play-out)
Concordia :
Concordia Chiajna had a very poor performance in the Ilfovian derby, being defeated by FC Voluntari on the field with a score of 2-0 (Adrian Bălan 19, 30). Concordia has remained without victory in the games played at home with the Volunteers, having a draw and three defeats.
What’s worse is that there have been 7 play-out stages and Dan Alexa’s training has not been able to beat anyone, having 3 draws and 4 defeats. The “Eagles” finished the 7th place in the play-out standings, with 16 points, being 5 points of the savior and one dam.
Coach Dan Alexa does not know how to take the team out of the crisis and, in case of a failure in the match with CSM Politehnica Iasi, he will probably be dismissed. Players have a very weak morale because they have not won a match since February 19 and are in a relegated place. There will be two home games with CSM Politehnica Iaşi and ASA Târgu Mureş, which “white-green” are obliged to win. The problem is they have forgotten to win in League One, having 9 consecutive games without victory (4 draws and 5 defeats). Owning Concordia in the last 4 matches has a draw and 3 defeats, the last success since February 13, 2-1 with Dinamo. Ilfoveni still depend on them only to stay in the first league, but to save themselves they will have to win, otherwise they will end up in the dam or, worse, they will downgrade directly. The Chiajnei team is theoretically stronger than ASA Târgu Mureş or Pandurilor, but if they do not get out of the crisis quickly, they can wake up in League Two.
The hosts do not have injured or suspended players for the match with CSM Politehnica Iasi, with the exception of the right defender Ştefan Barboianu, who will not play this season, being in the recovery period. The offensive midfielder Marian Cristescu has 3 yellow cards and will have to be careful not to be suspended in the next round with ASA Targu Mures.
-Concordia Chiajna has no win in play-out
-Dan Alexa’s team has the weakest play-out defense
-The last 5 matches of the Ilfov have been under 2.5 goals
CSM Iasi :
CSM Politehnica Iasi dominated the match with ASA Târgu Mureş, but only 0-0. The team trained by Eugen Neagoe did not win, but he remained first in the play-out, especially because his main opponent, Gaz Metan Mediaş, lost to Timisoara.
“White-Blues” finished the play-off championship tournament first, being unbeaten. The strength of the team was the defense, which received just 2 goals in the 7 games. Moldovans want to end the season on the first position, so they can not afford to lose at Chiajna, especially because the medieval players will play with the last ranked. They can not participate in the Europa League any more than a year ago, but it would be important to finish their first play-outs, especially because they would receive a larger amount of TV rights.
Players have a good morale, even if they come after two white draws. They aim to overcome Concordia Chiajna on Friday or, at worst, to obtain a tie result. So far, in 5 games held on the Ilfovers’ field, the Copou group won only one victory, three draws and a defeat.
Guests do not have injured or suspended players for the Chiajna match. “We have no batch problems, so it will be hard for me to make the 18th team,” said coach Neagoe, who will probably leave Ciucur, Narcis Bădic and Sabin Moldovan at home. As for the match with ASA Târgu Mureş, defender Alexandru Răuţă will return after a suspension.
-4 of 5 CSA Iasi games played at Chiajna were under 2.5 goals
-Eugen Neagoe’s team has the best defensive play-out
-The Copoului Deal has not received a goal in 5 of its last 6 games
