👉 Our prediction is: Otelul Galati win or draw

The match is an evenly balanced affair with very little difference between the two sides. But the added benefit of home advantage is enough to tilt the scales in Otelul Galati's favour.

We recommend betting on Otelul Galati to win or draw on the Double Chance market. Since they will be playing in front of their home fans, that should give them that extra boost they need to avoid defeat, which is the only condition to win the bet.

👉 Our prediction is: UTA Arad to win the 1st half

UTA Arad is a tough opponent to face, particularly away from home. They have enough dangerous attacking weapons to deal some damage up front, while the defence is quite solid as well.

It would not be a shock if they come in and give their hosts Otelul Galati a bit of a scare in the early going.

That is why we recommend taking UTA Arad to win the first half.
