  • Competition: Romania - SuperLiga
  • Date: Friday, 19th, July 2024
  • Kickoff: 16:30 UTC +1 / 17:30 CEST
  • Venue: Stadionul Emil Alexandrescu (Iasi)

Both Poli Iasi and Botosani are looking to shake off disappointing season openers as they go head-to-head at Stadionul Emil Alexandrescu in the matchday 2 of the Romanian Superliga.

A poor pre-season showing with only one win from four friendlies undoubtedly impacted Politehnica Iasi's start to the new 2024-25 campaign negatively, as they found themselves on the wrong end of the scoreline on opening day, succumbing to a narrow 0-1 defeat against Sepsi Sf. Gheorghe away from home. Having narrowly secured their place in Romania's top tier last season as returnees with just two points above the relegation zone, the White and Blues aim to correct their mistakes and deliver a more tranquil season for their loyal supporters.

While Poli Iasi delivered a lackluster performance in their opener, their next opponents, Botosani, left a decent impression on the field but still departed their home ground with heads bowed after surrendering a slim lead and falling to a rollercoaster 2-3 defeat against Otelul Galati on matchday one. Last week, the team led by coach Bogdan Andone kicked off their 12th consecutive year in the Romanian top division, but over the past two seasons, there has been a decline in their results as Botosani have faced the threat of relegation on both occasions.

Poli Iasi vs Botosani Betting Tips: X2 (DOUBLE CHANCE)

Despite Politehnica Iasi having the home advantage, we believe it won't change the fact that visitors Botosani are closer to taking all the spoils, as they radiate more security lately. Uncertain preseason performances have taken a toll on the league start for Poli Iasi, who have now endured a dismal three-game winless streak, showing little indication of improvement in the near future. 

In stark contrast, Botosani has fine-tuned their accuracy and displayed remarkable goal-scoring form of late, scoring at least twice in all but one of their past five appearances. Furthermore, Bogdan Andone's team seems to possess the winning formula against Poli Iasi, evident in their impressive record of nine victories out of ten head-to-head encounters in any format. Facing a regular customer and inspired by recently-discovered attacking skills, Botosani should capitalize on all favorable factors at their disposal and sprint towards their first victory in the new campaign.

Botosani team news

Despite Adams Friday scoring the equalizing goal in the opening 45 minutes, the Nigerian striker was substituted right at the beginning of the second half for unknown reasons, but if not due to injury, he should retain his starting role.

Botosani's defensive unit faced embarrassment on the first day of the SuperLiga season as they squandered a one-goal advantage within two minutes against Otelul, leading coach Bogdan Andone to contemplate adjustments in the back.
