Otelul – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Steelworkers” returned to the top division of the country following the results of the last but one season. And they were immediately able to gain a foothold there. The regular cycle wasn’t the best, but Munteanu’s wards improved the performance in the spring and even claimed a spot in the Conference League. At the same time, they became a cup finalist, but lost there to sensational Corvinul Hunedoara from the second division.
The club managed to start the new championship with a victory. Moreover, Botosani led with a 2-1 score at the home arena, but then the Cisotti-Zivulic tandem worked twice.
Farul – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Sailors” were able, quite unexpectedly, to become national champions in the last but one season. This is despite the fact that only shortly before this the project was reformatted into its current form. Still, the Romanian club did not even make it to the main round of the Conference League, and they lost to their first opponent, Sheriff, in the Champions League qualification.
The team also stumbled at the beginning of a new rally. So the fact that it dominated in its native Constanta in the battle against Unirea Slobozia means nothing because of the final score – 0-1.
