Our prediction for the match Botoșani vs Steaua
“The Red-Blue-Greens” have been playing in Romania’s top division since 2013. They’ve even qualified for European competitions twice, although they haven’t achieved anything remarkable there – being eliminated by their second opponents. However, last season, the team narrowly avoided relegation, finishing in a precarious fourteenth place. The “Red-Blues,” on the other hand, were at their peak, securing the championship title for the first time since 2015.
This season hasn’t gone well for the capital giants. In the Champions League qualifiers, after defeating Virtus and Maccabi Tel Aviv, they lost to Prague's Sparta. Their Europa League campaign has been more successful: they defeated LASK in the playoffs and won in the group stage against RFS, PAOK, and Midtjylland, although they were defeated by Rangers 0-4.
However, domestically, the favorites have had a poor start, winning just one of their first six matches. Since then, they’ve had several draws, leaving them in sixth place. The hosts have won only three times so far, with two victories coming in August. There was a decent run where they went four games without losing, but this was followed by two consecutive defeats, and in the most recent round, a 0-0 draw against Oțelul.
