hope minimum

Many things are not much to say about the group Bihor. Evening Star ranks currently in 8th place in League 2 without claim any promotion, but at the same time, away slightly from relegation worries. “Steaua” also have a covered swing, seeming to adopt the motto “all or nothing. Thus, bihorenii have recorded just two draws since the beginning of the season, but being defeated by no less than 9 times, 5 of which failures were recorded on their arena.

Victory crashes

Astra Giurgiu ranked 7th in League 1 standings after 20 rounds, managed to collect just 26 points. Thus, the defending champions had best run possible this season, but the fight is finished. Even with the departure of some names particularly important (De Amorim, Boldrin, Gaman), coach Marius Şumudică managed to qualify miraculously team European spring, a group which also included AS Roma, Viktoria Plzen and Austria Vienna . Moreover, though they were outsiders in the game Sunday night against Steaua giurgiuvenii practiced good football again managed to defeat dramatically on “red-blue” with a goal in minute 93.

Given the circumstances of this game, we expect huge difference in value between the two teams to tell their word. Although normally punters are cautious in terms of cup matches, where there may be a lot of surprises, we think giurgiuvenii they will really want to move forward in the next stage, even with the risk of having a program with true infernal spring, when they constantly play matches every three days. Consequently, we expect the Astra offensive force to bear fruit, even from the first Mitan.


Prediction: Astra to win
Odds: 1,62
