After losing their previous match against Voluntari by a score of 1-0 in Liga I, Universitatea Craiova will be hoping for a better outcome here. Universitatea Craiova had 53% possession and nine attempts at goal, three of which were successful. Voluntari, on the other hand, made one save from five attempts on goal. Voluntari received a goal from Vadim Raţă (50′). In five of the last six matches in which Universitatea Craiova participated, fewer than three goals were scored.
Argeș Pitești will be hoping to make a difference in this situation. Kévin Koubemba (63′) was the only Argeș Pitești player listed on the scoresheet. Steaua Bucharest received goals from Adrian ut (48′) and Deian Sorescu (54′). Argeş Pitești’s opponents have scored nine goals in five of their last six games, according to stats that don’t lie. Argeş Pitești have clearly experienced difficulties on defense. However, there is no guarantee that such a trend will continue in this area.

Prediction
We believe that Universitatea Craiova will most likely maintain control for extended periods of time and will likely be able to convert some of their chances.
Argeş Pitești, on the other hand, may find it challenging to score a goal of their own, but we do anticipate that they will respond at some point.
As a result, we anticipate Universitatea Craiova’s controlled 3-1 victory at the game’s conclusion.

Team News
Because the team is otherwise strong, Victor Piţurcă, the manager of Universitatea Craiova, only has to deal with one fitness issue. Nicusor Bancu will not play due to a ruptured cruciate ligament. Lorenzo Paramatti, Catalin Albu, Alexandru Voda, Gabriel Enache, and Marius Ciobanu-Vanghele are the players who will not be allowed to participate in this game because they have been suspended.
The Argeş Pitești manager doesn’t have any concerns about his or her fitness going into this match because he has a team that is completely healthy to choose from.
