FCSB Universitatea Craiova betting prediction
 FCSB |
|  U Craiova |
Betting suggestion:
The most likely scenario for this clash is that several goals will be scored. FCSB are playing in their best condition, having scored the majority of their goals at home, although they have already secured the title. Universitatea Craiova, on the other hand, are in their worst form but need to take risks in order to win and secure the final spot for European competitions. We expect an open and balanced game, with chances for goals at both ends. Therefore, backing the ‘Over 2.0 Goals (Asian Handicap)’ market in the match seems like a good option.
