[Romanian Liga I 23-26/4]

Two of the worst teams in Ligue 1, two teams Ilfov County town, Voluntari and Concordia Chiajna  meet today from 18:30 in a real derby of the bottom of the table. Undoubtedly, the two will fight up to the end to avoid relegation and  I'm afraid that will not get rid of the "sliding" into the second league.

If Concordia earned two wins in 12 matches, both coming at home, on their synthetically pitch, Voluntari are still waiting for the first success in League 1. He may come today, against a modest opponent.. Voluntari have some players with experience in the first league, as Parvulescu, Maftei, Dinu Todoran, Nicolae Grigore or Pancu and they could help this team to rise a bit.

Although myfeeling tells me Fc Voluntari will achieve victory today (at a rate of 2.90), I will play again cautiously satisfied with the rate offered by the folks at bet 365 for 1x(1.55).

1X @ 1.55 9/10

1 @ 2.90 5/10

Possible score: 1-0

 

[Romania 2014/2015]

ACS Poli - Fc Botosani 1x @ 1.40 ACS is the only team that failed to accumulate any point in this start to the season. However, Alexa's team has not evolved very bad neither in the match with Panduri nor in that with CFR Cluj. Both games were lost as a result of controversial decisions made by the referees. Botosani left the Europa League after a double defeat with Legia Warsaw. With low morale and a lot decimated by injuries (Patache, Ngadeu, Danci, Fulop, Batin and Bordeianu) Grazavu's team comes in Timisoara with the objective to remain unbeaten in League I. In the first two stages Moldovans drew with both Viitorul and CSU Craiova. In these circumstances I think the home team can obtain first success of the season. Will see ... ACS Poly (4-4-2): Kirschstein - Belu, Melinte, Scutaru, Popescu - Curtean Popescu, Llorente, Zicu - Barbut, Elek FC Botosani (4-2-3-1): Iliev - Dimitrov, knead, Miron, Acsinte - Costin, Cucu - Brata, Cabrera, Croitoru - Hadnagy Possible score: 1-0 9/10 1-0 Bet Won

Don't have time to write big preview of Liga 1 but this is how i am seeing the standing taking in consideration the situation of the clubs in July 2015: 1) Astra Giurgiu 2) Steaua Bucuresti 3) Craiova 4) Dinamo Buc 5) Pandurii Tg Jiu 6) CFR 7) Petrolul 8) Targu Mures 9) Poli Timisoara 10) Botosani 11) Iasi 12) Viitorul 13) Voluntari 14) Concordia Chiajna Legend: Steaua and Astra title contenders Craiova - dark horse Blue teams: play off material Pink teams: middle of table Purple teams: play out material Black team: relegation material

[Romania 2014/2015]

New season in Romania! One of the most unbalanced game of the first round in the Liga I is between title contender, Astra Giurgiu and Concordia Chiajna, who has proposed, as every year, to avoid relegation. Sumudica managed to bring in, few important players (Teixeira, Geraldo, Boldrin), players who can put shoulder to achieve the objective, namely, to finish in a place of CHL at the end of this season. The only player that left is fatai, but he played only few games for Astra in the recently ended season. Concordia Chiajna managed to save from relegation in the last round, taking advantage of the apathy of "yellow wolves" and the draw from Brasov Gaz Metan. Honestly, Concordia look worse this season, no fewer than 17 players left the team last month. In their place they were brought others, but Marius Baciu's group does not look very good. These massive departures / comings can make their mark on the game in the start of the season, which will surely suffer in homogeneity. All the advantages seem to be on Sumudica, side, he is a good coach who has the ambition to steal the title from Steaua Bucuresti this season. Astra Giurgiu (4-2-3-1): S. Lung jr. - Pedro Queirós, gluttonous, Geraldo Alves Morais Júnior - Boldrin, Seto - Enache, Budescu, De Amorim - Alibec Concordia Chiajna (4-2-3-1): Matache - Vagner Mamele Tincu, Bucurica - Bruno Madeira, M. Cristescu - Constantinescu, Purece, Serediuc - Pena Astra to win @ 1.80 9/10

[Romania 2014/2015]

Re: Romania 2014/2015 Botosani - ASA Targu Mures, these 2 are probably the most defensive teams in Liga 1. They are playing very organized and their defenses are tough to break. For this game Botosani will miss his top scorer, Batin, suspended, while the guest will miss also his top scorer, N'Doye, who is also suspended. Also, we could have a bad pitch here, as yesterday snowed in Botosani. This smells like a big under and if you ask me we will not see more than a goal. Also, I think that we could have a little surprises here, so if you like big odds go on hw @ 3.20 under 2.5 @ 1.60 9/10 Possible score: 1-0

[Conference 20th-21st March]

Re: Conference 20th-21st March After 2 not so great games, Bristol has the opportunity to try and reclaim the 1st place by winning against a mediocre Aldershot. Now Bristol has the home ground advantage, seems to be much stronger and really needs the points. Everything points towards a hw @ 1.45. Waiting to see the inj/susp list to place a bet here. Any thoughts about this?

[Romania 2014/2015]

Re: Romania 2014/2015 Today we have 3 games in Liga I U Cluj-Botosani, U Cluj didn't scored any goal in 2015 in Liga I and the team is in relegation fight. They need points and they need it badly. Botosani is a tough nut to crack, a team who is hard to beat. They didn't win any game in 2015 so the owner is a bit upset. Important game for both teams so I am thinking low scoring game; maybe X. Under 2.5 @ 1.55 9/10 Possible score: 1-1 / 0-0 0-0 Bet Won Dinamo-Chiajna, Dinamo won the first game with his new coach Stoican and has another approachable opponent today. Chiajna will come to Bucharest to defend a draw but Dinamo has very, very good players in attack and they will score for sure. With this in mind I am thinking to back the hosts with very good odds 1 @ 1.80 8/10 Possible score: 2-1 Petrolul-Craiova, Petrolul is still on the podium , but not sure that this team will stand there till the end. They have problems in attack department, the team scores few goals. Craiova didn't loose for 15 games now. I guess this strike will end soon, maybe today, maybe not. Very close game, that could end in a draw. under 2.5 @ 1.60 8/10 or 1x @ 1.30 9/10 Possible score: 1-0/ 1-1

par de no bet meciurile de azi' date=' clau. poate un under 1.5 la brasov.[/quote'] I took a double with both under in Brasov and Rapid games and a single with Brasov-Ucluj X

[Romania 2014/2015]

Re: Romania 2014/2015 After watching a few games from this second part of the season I can get you some input in Liga I again. Today will have 3 games: C.Chiajna-Tg.Mures, Tg Mures won all 3 games in 2015 and they are the main contender for second place at this moment. But the game in Chiajna is similar with all other games where Tg Mures didn't win the all season. They have problems winning these kind of games, away from home, against unhandy opponent.I will skip this game as it could go both ways No Bet Possible score: 1-1/0-1 0-0 FC Brasov-U.Cluj, very important game for both teams, as they are fighting for relegation.Very equal teams in terms of value. Like many of Liga I games this one has the best changes to go towards an under, but I like very much the X here - better one point than 0, right? :) X @ 3.20 6/10 or X HT or FT @ 1.60 9/10 Possible score: 0-0/1-1 1-0 (0-0) One won, one lost Rapid B.-Petrolul P., Rapid has a new team in 2015, many players came and the results are very good, 2 wins (one at Steaua) and one draw (in 9 men from 43 min). If they continue to play with hart, I think they can avoid relegation this year. The biggest problem for Rapid is in attack, where they have problems - the weakest team in Liga I at this chapter. Petrolul has financial problems, after his owner was put in jail for embezzlement and this team can't go in Europa League because it is in insolvency. The players are unhappy and the results are not so good (lost at home last game with Iasi 0-2). Fot this game, coach Mircea Rednic has problems with the strikers (Tamuz and Tchite are unavailable) Under 2.5 @ 1.55 9/10 Possible score: 1-1 1-1 Bet Won

[Romania 2014/2015]

Re: Romania 2014/2015 Brasov-Viitorul Honestly Viitorul series of matches without defeat surprises me. However the 10th place occupied by Viitorul is to good for this mediocre team, who can not propose only avoiding relegation and nothing more. Brasov will try to get over the last two defeats, 0-3 with Pandurii and 0-2 with Steaua, a new negative result could muddy the waters in Tampa. At home Brasov can pose any team in the league and that's why I think Viitorul's good seria of results may end tomorrow night 1 DNB @ 1.53 7/10 Possible score: 1-0

[Romania 2014/2015]

Re: Romania 2014/2015 U Cluj - Otelul Galati Otelul Galati has some signs of recovery, withe 6 points in the last 4 games. Surprising was also the last stage victory against Ceahlaului Piatra Neamt, the victory sending Otelul away from the last place. U Cluj had a difficult schedule lately with hard matches against Steaua, Astra or Petrolul, fromwhich the students came out quite wrinkled, to the dismay of "red hats" supporters. However, steel adversary seems more affordable, so Ogararu's team is not allowed to make missteps. After 5 matches without a win I think it is time that students from Cluj to win. 1 @ 1.95 8/10 Possible score: 2-0 0-0 Bet Lost

[Romania 2014/2015]

Re: Romania 2014/2015 Not to many good bets in Liga I this week. If you want to get involved in today's games maybe you can take X HT or FT to Chiajna-Gaz Metan as both teams has many draws.

[Romania 2014/2015]

Re: Romania 2014/2015

I think that the high odds on Targu Mures are because of their poor away form and the absence of Ousmane N'Doye' date=' their topscorer.[/quote'] I don't think the absent of 35 years old N'Doye can keep the line so high. Also the home record of Viitorul is not so impressive 2-0-4. Targu Mures lost only 2 games away from home this season...

[Romania 2014/2015]

Re: Romania 2014/2015

Where are you finding good odds for Petrolul - Otelul? http://www.oddschecker.com/football/other/romania/liga-i/petrolul-ploiesti-v-otelul-galati/winner

It was typo mistake 1.25 not 25 of course :)

[Romania 2014/2015]

Re: Romania 2014/2015 3 games in Liga I today Petrolul - Otelul looks like a banker, with Petrolul needing the victory to stay in touch with Steaua and CFR 1 @ 25 10/10 Possible score: 2-0 0-0 Bet Lost - Poor display of football for Petrolul who didnt deserved to win this game Viitorul - Targu Mures, odds are suspicious high for Targu Mures to win (2.9) and something smell fishy. I would have given 2.10-2.20 after last 2 games where Targu Mures won against Steaua and hammered Ceahlaul in Cup. In normal circumstances x2 is very good here but I will lower the stake... x2 @ 1.53 7/10 or 2 DNB @ 1.90 Possible score: 0-1 0-0 Bet Won CFR - Brasov, the odds for home win are absolute joke here (1.36) and I would not advice anybody to play this as these teams are more equal then you think...I think CFR will have a tough game tonight and I wouldn't be surprised if we'll have a surprise here. 2 (+2) @ 1.425 8.5/10 or 2 (+1.5) @ 1.725 6/10 Possible score: 2-1, 1-1 1-2 Bet Won

Re: Romania 2014/2015 Today I will play a double: Astra - Ceahlaul 1 @ 1.40 Al Hilal - Western Sydney 1 @ 1.60 2.24 10/10 Astra-Ceahlaul, Astra is in must win situation and they meet Ceahlaul who is in a very bad shape. I watch the game 3 days ago when Ceahlul lost 0-4 in Cup at Targu Mures...they looked pathetic, they couldn't make 3-4 consecutive passes. Astra will win no doubt and with handicap I think. 1 @ 1.40 10/10 1 (-1.5) @ 1.90 8/10 Possible score: 2-0, 3-0 2-1 One Win & One Lost Al Hilal - Western Sydney Ex Steaua coach, Reghe' is now the coach of Al Hilal and they are playing the second leg of Asian Champions Cup. I watch the first game, where Sydney won 1-0 but it was an undeserved victory, as Al Hilal being superior in the all 90 min. They dominated and had several opportunities to score but Sydney scores in second half...I don't think they will have such luck again...It will be a full stadium in Ryad (I think) 60 k people. Western Sydney rarely put in danger Al Hilal GK so I don't think they will score tonight. 1 @ 1.60 10/10 Al Hilal to win the trophy @ 2.15 8.5/10 0-0 Bets Lost - Tones of goal opportunities for Al Hilal, 3 clear penalties not given by that Nipon referee :| Craiova-Botosani, is normally a 1x game as Botosani is rather weak in away games...NO BET for me Possible score: 1-1, 2-1 2-1 Gaz Metan Medias - U Cluj, Home advantage for Gaz Metan but better team for U Cluj IMO so maybe a draw X HT or FT @ 1.65 7/10 X @ 3.55 3/10 Possible score: 0-0, 1-1 1-1 Bets Won

[Romania 2014/2015]

Re: Romania 2014/2015 Steaua - Dinamo, the big derby of Romania. Of course Steaua is favorite here but the odds (1.53) is absolute a joke. I remember last season the odds were bigger even if the difference between these 2 teams were much bigger. Now Steaua seems a bit weaker with Prepelita and Tanase in the first 11 and Dinamo a bit stronger with good players in attack. I think Dinamo will like playing on counterattacks, with Lazar and Alexe deep in the hart of Steaua defense. Steaua has Rusescu and Iancu out, Dinamo without abs. I can see a game with some goals here, Dinamo to score or both to score being good bets. I hope Dinamo can make the surprise here...if Steaua will make same mistakes like in Rio Ave game or Iasi game, Dinamo can take advantage. I will not place any bet on this game...just enjoy watching it with my friends in a local pub. NO BET Possible scores: 3-1, 1-2

I remember Pandurii won in Liga I against Otelul with 4-0 but the first goal only cam in min 60...

[Romania 2014/2015]

Re: Romania 2014/2015 Rapid-Cfr it's a NO BET for me and if there will be a surprise today here will pop up Otelul - Pandurii, the odds on away win dropped a lot, from 2.10 to 1.85. Like you already been informed, Otelul is the worst team in Liga 1 and will most likely exit this competition today. Pandurii underperformed in this start of the season so this game it's important for them...they will try to go all the way here Pandurii should normally win today, as Otelul is weak 2 dnb @ 1.35 8.5/10 Possible score: 0-2, 1-3 2-2 (2-3) Bet Void Rapid Suceava - Petrolul, Suceava is second division team that passed Gaz Metan Medias the round before - big surprise. But Petrolul is not Gaz Metan and I don't think we can have any upsets today. The game will be played on a neutral field, in Botosani, as in Suceava they don't have nocturne lights. Petrolul is 2 level over this team so I think they will win and advance in the next round 2 @ 1.40 8.5/10 Possible score: 0-1, 0-2 2-3 Bet Won

Re: Romania 2014/2015 Targu Mures - Ceahlaul Targu Mures invested a lot and the expectations are high. This town wants the trophy and wants to play in Europa League next year. Many players were brought with high salaries so they will not be very happy with a bad game today. Sunday, Targu Mures won againt the big Steaua and they showed determination and aggressiveness. Ceahlaul will play without too much ambition, their only goal is to avoid relegation...it will be hard season Targu Mures is better at any level then Ceahlaul, is playing on their home ground so it is clear for me: Home win! 1 @ 1.65 9/10 Targu Mures to advance @ 1.30 10/10 Possible score: 2-0 4-0 Bets Won Craiova - Viitorul Same situation here with Targu Mures-Ceahlaul game. Craiova invested big bucks so they want to play in Europa next year. Hagi knows that this season 6 teams will relegate so his team, Viitorul will have a lot to in the championship. I don't think Viitorul will give to much in the Cup match today. Probably they will filed some subs... 1 DNB @ 1.50 9/10 Possible score: 2-1 1-1 (2-1 ET) Bet Void Fc Brasov - U Cluj is a NO BET for me as I didn't find any info regarding the two squads... I don't know what to expect here.
