Poli Iasi Preview – Can Poli Iasi keep survival dreams alive?
Third from bottom outfit, Poli Iasi, currently occupy the relegation play-off spot prior to this crucial clash with Voluntari at their Stadionul Emil Alexandrescu as the hosts bid to bounce back from their recent heavy 3-0 loss away from home at Academica Clinceni which has left them five points adrift of fourth from bottom side Hermannstadt.
A win is therefore the requirement in this encounter but having won just three of their 11 matches to date in this Relegation group phase, the odds seem to be stacked against Poli Iasi who have actually picked up just the three wins from their last 23 matches overall.
With this in mind, the prospects of a home win for Poli Iasi seem to be unlikely but goals could well feature as nine of Poli Iasi’s last 12 home matches have resulted in over 2.5 goals and time is running out fast for the hosts to secure safety.
Voluntari Preview – Can Voluntari heap on further misery?
Third placed Voluntari have safely avoided any relegation dramas despite being placed in the Relegation Round group at the end of the regular season in the Romanian Liga 1, and they hold a comfortable eight-point cushion over their hosts.
It had been a pretty disastrous Liga 1 campaign for Voluntari who actually finished bottom of the division at the end of the regular season, but a remarkable turnaround in form has enabled the visitors to not only claw their way off the bottom of the ladder but also thrust themselves up the relegation group to safety.
Losing just twice in their 11 matches to date in this second phase has been the perfect tonic for Voluntari who have won six of these 11 matches, but results on the road have been mixed as they’ve posted 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses; however, seven of Voluntari’s last 10 away matches have also seen over 2.5 goals.
