POLI Timisoara - Otelul
This is a very interesting game as both teams want to play in UEFA Cup next season. As in every preseason, POLI invested alot in players, but the results didnt come. They alternated the good results with embarasing ones, making both fans and owners very angry at the team and technical staff. Poli changed the coach 3 times this season and this can only affect the team's performance. Otelul is in 6th place and since coach Grigoras arrived, the team plays some modern football, only that they seem to allow alot of goals lately as the defensive line is not very good. I don't see a clear winner in this game and i will have my money on over 2 goals as POLI likes to score at home, Otelul is not a team that denfends the whole game and they allow at least 1 per game lately.

Craiova vs CFR Cluj
Craiova - CFR Cluj
This is the first game that Craiova plays on home ground this year. We had our ground suspended for 2 rounds and we played in Bucharest our home games because we have a big support over there. Craiova hasnt won from november, 1-0 vs Farul at home and things are getting a bit complicated in the lower part of the table. We stand 5 points from the relegation line and we have to start and win some games if we want to stay above the line. The team didnt play bad, infact i can say that since coach Stoica arrived, we played better and better every round, but we lost 8 points because we allowed some late goals: 3-3 vs Vaslui - 2 goals by Vaslui in the last 2 minutes; 3-3 vs Iasi, iasi equalised in 89th minute; 1-1 vs Iasi, iasi equalised from a penalty kick in 90th minute, 2-2 vs Pandurii, pandurii equalised in 90th minute. Playing again at home, before the Easter, the fans are expected to fill the stadium so the team will have a big support tonight. We have left defender Rose suspended because of a red card last round at Iasi, so we will line almost the best 11 we have. Now what can i say about CFR ... they made some huge investments in plyers, but almost 90% of the new signings are portuguese players, most of them came from low rated teams in Portugal and only Cadu is a big name, he played couple years for Boavista. The squad plays italian style football, having an italian coach, and they didnt impress me much with their game and despite the latest results, the game suffer and they are on 2nd place because they met some very poor formations lately: National, Jiul, Pandurii, Ceahlaul, Farul, POLI Iasi. The tough games vs Dinamo, Steaua and Rapid are yet to come and only then one can tell the real value of this hybrid team. Also they have some squad problems for today's game: strikers Anca and Frunza, first one injured, 2nd suspended for red card, Manuel Jose, Minteauan also injured, and best played Semedo is doubtfull. I expect Craiova at least to draw this game, and no way do i see CFR Cluj wining this one. My confidence is medium high on Craiova, but i will take them on asian handicap to protect in case of a draw.
