—————————————-
Before this duel, Sepsi occupies the last place in the play-off, with 27 points, but the chances of occupying a position on the podium at the end of the season are not impossible. However, Covăsneni need a victory after they lost in the last stage at home, score 1-3 against Craiova University.
On the other hand, this intermediate stage can bring FCSB the long-awaited title after 9 years of “drought”. “Roş-albaştri” are the leaders of the championship, with 45 points, 11 “lengths” away from Craiova University, which is on 2nd.
In order for FCSB to become mathematically champion, it needs victory, and the Oltenians need to get confused in Thursday’s duel with CFR CLuj.
The last confrontation between the two combatants ended with the victory of Bucharest, score 2-1.
