Since a losing effort in their last game against Universitatea Cluj in Liga 1 Play Offs action, Dinamo Bucharest and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

For their opponents, Universitatea Cluj had 17 attempts at goal with 7 on target. Dan Nistor (84') and Issouf Macalou (90') scored for Universitatea Cluj.

The stats don’t lie, and Dinamo Bucharest have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, conceding 11 goals in total. Defensively, Dinamo Bucharest just haven’t been too solid at all.

📰 Team News: Universitatea Craiova

Alexandru Cicâldău (Torn thigh muscle), Luis Paradela (Cruciate ligament surgery) and Juraj Badelj (unknown injury) will be missing for Universitatea Craiova manager Constantin Gâlcă.

We are thinking that Studenţii will possibly line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation in the match, utilising Silviu Lung Jr., Vasile Mogos, Gjoko Zajkov, Denil Maldonado, Nicusor Bancu, Vladimir Screciu, Takuto Oshima, Carlos Mora, Alexandru Mitrita, Stefan Baiaram and Alisson Safira.

ℹ️ Team News: Dinamo Bucharest

We believe Dinamoviștii seem likely to utilise a 4-3-3 system by sending out Alexandru Rosca, Maxime Sivis, Razvan Pascalau, Josue Homawoo, Raul Oprut, Georgi Milanov, Razvan Patriche, Catalin Cirjan, Astrit Selmani, Stipe Perica and Alexandru Pop.

⚡ Prediction

We believe that Universitatea Craiova should score more than once when they line up against Dinamo Bucharest, who might well find it difficult to break down their defence.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a 2-0 margin for Universitatea Craiova after 90 minutes.
