Two sides in the bottom half of the Romanian top flight go head to head on Monday afternoon as UTA Arad play host to Botosani.
UTA Arad had the chance to end a three-match winless streak when they hosted Farul in the group stage of the Romanian cup in midweek. The Old Lady were already 3:0 goals down after just half an hour and despite pulling one goal back via Lamine Ghezali, Mircea Rednic’s men went on to concede two more goals and I will be eager to respond on Monday.
Botosani meanwhile ended their two-match losing streak with a narrow 1-0 win over Ceahlaul in Cupa Romaniei on Thursday. The visitors have now suffered defeat in just one of the last four away games and having avoided defeat in two of their last three trips to the Francisc von Neuman Stadium they will fancy their chances of getting something from Monday’s game.
UTA Arad vs Botosani Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Two of the last three league games of UTA Arad ended with just one goal but two of those encounters were away from home. The lone game played at this ground in this spell produced four goals. All their last three home games have now produced at least three goals and I fancy Monday’s game to end similarly.
A handful of recent meetings between UTA Arad and Botosani were also entertaining. Half of the last four produced exactly four goals while just three of the last seven ended with fewer than three goals.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- UTA Arad vs Botosani prediction: 2-2
