Botoşani host UTA Arad in the Superliga, with the home side having just ended their last match in a 1-3 defeat, while the visitors come in off a 1-0 win, so the two teams step onto the pitch in very different moods. Botoşani have yet to win in their last two matches, but just before that they thrashed their opponents 5-0, while UTA Arad have won four of their last five and lost only once. This season Botoşani have drawn as many as five of ten matches, scoring 14 and conceding 12, a team whose games tend not to be one-sided, yet they also rarely lose back-to-back. UTA Arad, for their part, open up slightly better in attack with 4.8 shots on target per game compared to the hosts' 3.9, though their defence also gives opponents a fair amount of room. If Botoşani can dominate possession and control the tempo at home the way they have been doing, the game should be tight and finish with a scoreline that is not far apart, because both sides can score and both concede at key moments.
