AFC Hermannstadt
Universitatea Craiova is experiencing a dip in form, currently on a four-game winless streak, with three draws and one loss. However, they have a prime opportunity to bounce back today as they face FC Hermannstadt, the last-placed team in Romania’s Liga 1.
Hermannstadt's form has been even more concerning, going seven league matches without a win and failing to score in six of those games.
In terms of squad quality, Universitatea Craiova among the top teams in Liga 1 boasts far more depth and versatility. Recent history also favors them, as they’ve won the last three home encounters against Hermannstadt without conceding a goal.
This matchup appears well-timed for Craiova to regain momentum.
What we say
Univ. Craiova to Win
With their main striker, Koljic, back in action from the previous game against Steaua, Universitatea Craiova now has a full-strength squad. Their four-match winless streak adds extra motivation to deliver their best performance in this game. We anticipate Craiova will press the away side from the start, aiming for a decisive, much-needed home victory.
