Expert Betting Tips

Both sides have had similar forms this season, placing them at the same point on the table. However, Universitatea Craiova have been exceptional at home, with a 13-game unbeaten run at the Complex Sportiv Craiova. I expect them to secure the win with this and the fact that they are unbeaten in 7 of the last eight head-to-head games between the two sides. I also expect both sides to score in this game because they both have the most goals scored in the league this season.
