Otelul and FC Bacău have met three times, and all three were Otelul wins, with the most recent in July ending 3-1. This time it is a friendly with no points at stake, so both teams are likely to open up more than they ever did in league meetings. Otelul come in with their recent form looking poor. They have lost three in a row in the league, and the latest defeat, 2-3, was another game where the defence conceded easily. FC Bacău, meanwhile, are clearly in better form, unbeaten in three straight, and they recently thrashed their league opponent 6-1 in the middle of last month. The visitors' attack is working well. If FC Bacău score first from an attack that is hitting its stride, Otelul will be forced to push high to chase the game, and that will open space for the visitors to counter throughout the second half. The match is likely to become an end-to-end affair and finish with more than one goal.
