Petrolul vs Otelul Prediction & Tips
Every time Mehmet Topal returns to the “Yellow Wolves” bench, it seems to bode well for the Ploiești team. Before the Petrolul–Oțelul match, only FCSB had managed to beat the Ploiești side in the last six rounds of the relegation playoffs. Otherwise, Grozav and company won at home against Csikszereda (2-0) and in Slobozia (2-1), and drew 1-1 with Hermannstadt and UTA at home, as well as in Botoșani last round. The Moldovans equalized only in the 81st minute, on a penalty kick.
Before Petrolul vs. Oțelul, the Galati team had a run almost identical to that of Monday’s opponents. In their previous six matches, just like the Ploiești side, they lost only to FCSB (0-4 in Bucharest). Otherwise, the difference lies in one additional win for the 2011 champions, who defeated Hermannstadt (2-0), UTA (1-0), and Farul (3-2), all at home, and drew at Botoșani (1-1) and at home against Metaloglobus (2-2, after trailing 0-2 until the 74th minute).
