Gloria Buzau vs Petrolul prediction and betting tips on November 11, 2024
Game Prediction
In the 16th round of Romania's Liga 1, Gloria Buzau will face Petrolul on November 11, 2024. The visiting team is competing for second place and will aim to defeat one of the league's lowest-ranked teams, even in an away match.
Prediction for Gloria Buzau vs Petrolul
The "Red-Blues" restarted from scratch in 2017 after bankruptcy and quickly reached Romania's second division. They finally earned promotion to Liga 1 last season through the playoffs, having finished fourth. The "Oilmen" also went through a rebuild earlier, returning to top-flight football in 2022. Last season, they slipped from eighth to eleventh place.
Currently, Petrolul from Ploiești is one of the season's surprises. They rarely lose, though eight of their matches ended in draws. Despite this, they’re holding fourth place. Gloria, as a newcomer, is predictably at the lower end of the table, having lost their last two matches 0-1. However, they already have three wins and 13 points, meaning it's too soon to dismiss this team.
Gloria Buzau’s main issue isn’t their attack, which averages a goal per game, with Budescu scoring five goals. However, they concede an average of 1.67 goals per match. The "Yellow-Blues" have a slightly stronger offense (1.13 goals per game) and a solid defense, conceding just 0.87 goals per match on average.
