FCSB vs FC Viitorul Prediction & Betting tips
April 24, 2017, Bucharest, Stadium: “National Arena”, hour: 18:30 (League 1 – Stage 7 – play-off)
FCSB :
Steaua Bucharest played poorly in Gruia with CFR Cluj, but gained an important point, the score being 0-0. FC Viitorul lost with Dinamo (1-2), so eventually the 6th was good for Laurenţiu Reghecampf, who increased his advantage over the Future from 2 to 3 points.
“Red Blues” have shown, after 6 stages, that they are the best in the play-off, having the most victories, the best attack and the best defense. They have 3 points in addition to Viitorul and match home on the National Arena with it. The calculations are simple, if FCSB defeats FC Viitorul on Monday night, it will have 6 points ahead of the last 3 stages. Ideally it would be to beat it 2-0, because in the tour to Ovidiu was 3-1 for Dobrogea. However, it is hard to believe that the direct results will count, but the stars will also play with Dinamo Bucharest (away), Astra Giurgiu (away) and CS Universitatea Craiova (home), opponents hard to beat.
Players have a good morale, having 3 wins and a draw in the last 4 stages. The defense goes great because it has not received a goal in the last 3 games. Stelişti could become champions if they win the matches with Viitorul and Dinamo. They have greater experience with Hagi’s players and should normally check the 3 points on Monday, especially since the opponent is not in a good shape.
The hosts do not have injured or suspended players for the match against FC Viitorul, except for the closure Lucian Filip, who missed the season because of medical problems. FCSB has not received a goal in the last 3 stages, so defeat will continue to be Pleasca, Balaşa, Moke and Momčilović, veteran Gabriel Tamas being back on the reserve bench. Striker Denis Alibec will have to be careful, because he has 3 yellow cards and in case of a new warning, he risks missing the derby with Dinamo in the next round.
-Steaua Bucharest has the most wins in play-off, 4 in 6 stages
-Laurenţiu Reghecampf’s team has the best defensive play-off
-The Stelians did not receive a goal in the last 3 stages of the play-off
FC Viitorul :
FC Viitorul made a bad step in the fight for winning the championship, being defeated in Stefan cel Mare by Dinamo Bucharest with a score of 2-1 (Sergiu Hanca 68, 74 – George Ţucudean 77). It was the first time Viitorul lost on Dinamo’s field, where he had 5 wins and a draw.
In the last 3 stages the team trained by Gheorghe Hagi lost with CS Universitatea Craiova (0-1), drew CFR Cluj (0-0) and was defeated by Dinamo (1-2). So the FCV has won a single point out of 9 possible but has not yet come out of the title fight. Moreover, the Future is only at her hand, because if she won the last 4 matches in the play-off, she would be a champion, regardless of the results of the Star or Dinamo.
With a success in front of the Star, Hagi’s boys would equate it to points, 37 but would have the advantage of direct matches. In addition, the next round will be “Derby of Romania”, where FCSB theoretically can not get any points. So even a good one would be good for the Future, but then it would be the game of results, it would not depend only on it.
Players do not have a good moral, but I know that through a success with Steaua, I can make a huge step towards the title. And Gică Hagi desires this performance enormously, so he will prepare the match very well to win it. The net is in favor of Steaua, but now it does not really matter what it was, being a decisive match for the title.
The guests can not count on a defender, the defensive midfielder Dragos Nedelcu, who injured his left knee in the match with Dinamo, and will miss the field for about 3-4 weeks. Compared to the previous game in the “Pit”, Romario Benzar, who was injured, will be in the bout. “I did not train normally, I had a stretch, I hope to come in today or tomorrow. We will see if I will play, “said the International Future.
-FC Viitorul scored only one goal in the last 3 games in play-off
-Gheorghe Hagi’s team has only one success in the last 5 games played “out”
-Dobrogenii have a victory and five defeats in the games played on Steaua
