Otelul Galati
- Otelul Galati are unbeaten in their last 3 home games (Won 2, Drawn 1).
- Otelul Galati will try to extend their 3-game unbeaten home streak against a FC Farul Constanta side who have yet to taste victory on the road in the Playout.
- The hosts have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five games and they have been much more solid at home, where they have won 2, drawn 1 and lost just 1 of their 4 games in the Playout.
FC Farul Constanta
- FC Farul Constanta have failed to win their last 2 away games (Drawn 1, Lost 1).
- Farul have won none of their last 5 games (Drawn 2, Lost 3), with the last two games coming as draws (0-0 away to UTA Arad).
- Denis Alibec leads the attack for Farul with two goals in their last 5-game run and he is also the club’s top scorer in the Playout, accounting for two-thirds of the team’s Playout goals.
Head-to-Head
Otelul Galati have failed to win any of their last 3 home meetings with FC Farul Constanta.
Key Players
- Andrei Ciobanu is their key man with three goals in seven Playout appearances, but the most impressive stat for Otelul is that he has scored 3 of their last 6 goals (50%).
- Denis Alibec leads the attack for Farul with two goals in their last 5-game run and he is also the club’s top scorer in the Playout, accounting for two-thirds of the team’s Playout goals.
Betting Insights
- Farul have conceded just 0.67 goals per away game in the Playout, so they are not easy to break down, but the odds of an Otelul home shutout are shorter than the win odds and we will back that, as it may not take a lot of goals for the hosts to put a few between them and Farul on Saturday, particularly if they can prevent their visitors from getting on the scoresheet.
- Otelul are an organised and pragmatic 4-3-3 side that looks to clog up the middle third, counterattack and get bodies behind the ball on defense.
- Farul like to play a possession-based 4-3-3 too, but at times lack the pace to hurt teams when they’ve been set up to sit deep and compact.
Prediction
The odds for Otelul to snag a home win in this one are great value at 2.21 , but with both sides having plenty of points to play for, we feel it is worth taking the home win and adding in the Over 2.5 goals market at 2.05 and BTTS-No at 1.9 .
