FC Arges
- FC Arges sit 4th in the Liga I standings with 22 points from 11 games.
- Arges have won four of their five home games in the league this term, and arrive here in good form after securing consecutive victories in the league, a 1-0 success against Universitatea Cluj at home, followed by a 1-0 away win at Hermannstadt, making them an interesting case for FC Arges vs SC FC Petrolul Ploiesti betting tips.
Petrolul Ploiesti
- New boss Eugen Neagoe will know the task at hand is to make Petrolul Ploiesti a much more solid unit, after his team lost their 5th straight Liga I match on Sunday, 1-0 at FC Unirea Slobozia.
- The visitors, who also lost their home opener to Rapid Bucuresti by the same scoreline, have won only 1 and drawn 2 of their 6 road games, conceding 6 goals, which should be factored into any FC Arges vs SC FC Petrolul Ploiesti betting tips.
Key Players
- Ricardo Matos leads the line for the hosts, and his 4 goals in 9 Liga I appearances make him Arges’ most reliable scoring threat this campaign.
- Caio Ferreira has found his groove in recent weeks, bagging 3 goals in his last 5 matches to provide some much needed momentum in the final third.
- Gheorghe Grozav remains Petrolul’s most dangerous player, but his 2 Liga I goals in 11 appearances aren’t quite enough to inspire confidence in the away side this weekend.
Betting Insights
- Under 2.5 goals is priced at a low 1.49 for this Liga I contest, which is likely to be a cagey affair as both sides have seen under 2.5 land in each of their last 2 league games.
- However, we are going against the grain here by taking the in-form hosts to take all 3 points at 2.1, with Petrolul available at a huge 4.5 in the betting.
Prediction
The FC Arges vs SC FC Petrolul Ploiesti prediction is shaped by a clear gulf in both form and league positions between these sides, and given Arges have won their last 2 home Liga I matches , we think another victory at Mioveni is on the cards.
