The recent head-to-head statistics between Petrolul Ploiesti and CS Universitatea Craiova are not very rich. Only one game was played, and it is difficult to find any patterns of one team having an advantage over the other based on this.

Let's try to understand and analyze which team is stronger.

Petrolul Ploiesti: It is in first place in the standings out of 6. Coach Неагое, Еуген continues working with the team, which is in confident form.
The hosts have no issues with their attacking line, but there are problems in defense. The game, especially away from their home arena, is not going well. Let's consider how the team performed in recent games:
The last time the team Петролул played an away match against the club Германштадт, it took place год назад. Poor defense and a few accurate shots decided the fate of the match not in favor of Петролул. One match before this the team Петролул played an away match against the club Университатя. The match turned out to be exciting, as the over 2.5 goals line was hit, and both clubs managed to score. However, success was on the side of the guest team.

CS Universitatea Craiova: This team is coached by Coelho, Filipe. The team is in ambiguous form.
The club fails to maintain a balance between defense and attack, which is why they concede quite a lot. A bit about the previously played games:
The last time год назад the team played an away match against the club Ксиксзереда Меркуря-Чук. Disorganized defense and missed chances in attack led to two conceded мячам, which decided the outcome of the match. In the previous match the team У Крайова 1948 played a home match against the club Волунтари, which took place год назад. In this encounter, the teams couldn’t determine the stronger side. As a result, only one point was earned.
