In this week 12 match, on Friday Sep 30th, Voluntari will travel to Craiova to battle Universitatea Craiova in a meeting of these two Liga 1 teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 20 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. Universitatea Craiova is fresh off their 2-1 win against FCSB. Bogdan Mitrea scored the first goal for Universitatea Craiova in the 32nd minute on a penalty, then Andrea Compagno tied it up for FCSB in the 6th minute of the first half’s stoppage time on a penalty. Universitatea Craiova should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 17 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 11th placed Voluntari, recorded a 1-0 shutout win against U Craiova 1948. Lukáš Droppa struck first for Voluntari in the 45th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, U Craiova 1948 couldn’t muster any offence and Voluntari ran away with the shutout win. Voluntari looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 5 of their last 10.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season Universitatea Craiova won the head to head battle with 1 draw and 1 losss.
Adam Nemec and Lukáš Droppa are the top scorers for Voluntari in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Jovan Markovic has been the most prolific scorer on Universitatea Craiova in the last five matches with two goals.
