Voluntari
- Voluntari have won seven of their last ten matches, losing just two, scoring 2.00 goals per game at home and conceding just 0.20.
- Christian Florin Pirvu has made Voluntari a compact and aggressive unit since taking over as head coach on 25 April 2025.
- The 4-3-3 structure is able to morph into a 4-2-3-1 when needed and the players are technically proficient enough to carry the ball forward with good pace and tempo.
- This makes Voluntari a dangerous opponent, especially at home where they have been perfect this season, winning 5/5 across all competitions.
Botoșani
- Marius Croitoru has done a fine job since taking over the reigns of FC Botoșani on 10 March 2026.
- Botoșani will press high and try to force turnovers, then look to attack on the transition at pace.
- Botoșani have conceded nine goals in four away matches across all competitions this season (D1, L3).
Head-to-Head
- The last head-to-head was a 0-0 draw in the Liga I Relegation Group 2024, but Voluntari have the edge having won three of the last five.
- Botoșani have failed to win either of their last two away matches at Voluntari.
Botoșani
Sebastian Mailat is their danger man, having scored three of Botoșani 's last six goals in his last five appearances, but this fixture has historically been close and tense.
Betting Insights
- Voluntari will be a tough proposition for anyone on their home turf and Botoșani's record of nine goals conceded in four road trips is a red flag against a team like Voluntari.
- But at 2.89, Voluntari look short and Botoșani are a team which can keep games close and competitive at 2.47, while the draw at 3.1 looks like a nice price considering the respective momentum of each side.
Prediction
We're going for a low-scoring affair here, however, as under 2.5 goals at 1.6 fits the script far better than a shootout.
