It's the second possibility for points this season as Botoşani and Petrolul 52 lock horns at Stadionul Municipal.
Both squads have had enough rest since their previous effort on the pitch. Let's wish for an enthusiastic match!

Ahead of that match, Botoşani won a home game hosting Mioveni (5-1).The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Botoşani have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 7 games) they have won 1 time, drawn 5 and lost 1.
The manager Croitoru will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Rapid Bucuresti in only four days.
Petrolul 52 form and stats

In total they scored 28 and conceded {44 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 0 and lost 10 with 11/26 goals scored/conceded.
There were no winners in Petrolul 52's previous match, the home game that ended 1-1 vs Universitatea Cluj (placed 8th).
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Arges wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.Petrolul are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats. From a total of 6 matches.
A quick return to home after this game, as Petrolul 52 are hosting Voluntari in the Liga 1 only four days away.
