- Their main goal threat is Adi Chica-Rosa, who has netted 3 times in 14 Liga I games, and 3 of Petrolul’s last 4 goals in their previous 5 games.
Betting Insights
- Botosani are red-hot favourites at 2.5 here, with Petrolul coming in at 2.82 and the draw at 3.08.
- Both teams to score is 1.94 and under 2.5 goals is 1.57. Additionally, this is where our SC FC Petrolul Ploiesti vs FC Botosani betting tips suggest looking at defensive solidity as a key deciding factor.
Prediction
- we’re taking the in-form FC Botosani to come away with the win this Monday.
- Petrolul are dangerous in counterattack, so this should be a tight and tense matchup in which a 2-0 away win would be a fair scoreline.
