Football – Romania – Liga 1 Betting Tips

Astra Giurgu come into tonight’s home match with CSMS Iasi on the back of a 3-2 home win over Dutch Eeredivisie side AZ Alkmaar in their midweek Europa league clash.

Back on the domestic front, hosts Astra will be looking to extend their unbeaten run in the Romanian Liga 1 to six matches as they seemed to have recovered from a shock 5-1 home loss to Targu Mures back in July.

Astra Giurgu currently sit in second place just two points behind league leaders Vitorul who smashed Poli Timisoara 4-0 on Friday night, but a win for tonight’s hosts Astra would see them replace Vitorul at the top of Liga 1.

Astra Giurgu’s home record stands at  1-2-1  7/9 but they’ve won their last five matches overall in all competitions including a 2-1 win over West Ham in the earlier Europa League rounds.

Visitors CSMS Iasi have also made a reasonable start to their new Liga 1 campaign as they currently occupy fifth place and are just three points behind their opponents today, Astra Giurgu. However, Iasi’s current league placing is largely down to a solid start at home where they’ve won two of their first three league matches along with a draw to remain unbeaten on home turf.

Away from home, Iasi’s record stands at a less convincing  1-1-2  2/5 having registered a win at fourth from bottom Concordia Chiajna 1-0 but they’ve since lost away at Pandurii Targu and Botosani, and they’ve won just twice on their travels from their last ten matches.

So, despite CSMS Iasi’s apparent good start, I’ll back the hosts Astra Giurgu to continue their improving form with perhaps a 2-1 win tonight at decent odds.

Pick: Astra Giurgu straight win @ 2.05 Bet Victor
