Betting Insights
- The odds on the bookmakers make Craiova very clear favorites at 1.32 with Farul at 8.35 and the draw priced at 4.95.
- There is a good alternative recommendation here and that is for Craiova to win and under 2.5 goals in the game as the market seems to be favouring a home win with control.
- Craiova have turned Stadionul Ion Oblemenco into a fortress this season, going 5-0-1 in home league games and averaging an impressive 3.33 goals per-game with 20 scored in total.
- Farul have no wins in six road games, so the home team certainly have the stats to justify their favouritism here.
Prediction
- Back Craiova to continue good form.
- Our recommendation is to back the hosts as the more likely winner, although that does have to be qualified with the fact that Farul have scored only five times in six away games.
- There is a good alternative recommendation here and that is for Craiova to win and under 2.5 goals in the game as the market seems to be favouring a home win with control.
