A friendly match where Argeş host CSM Slatina. This game has no bearing on any table, so both teams are likely to open up more than they would in a league game. The hosts should see more of the ball and gradually push the game forward, while CSM Slatina are good at waiting for their moment and countering at speed. Argeş just won 2-1 in their most recent friendly, but their overall league form is not great, scoring 6 and conceding 10 in 10 matches. CSM Slatina, meanwhile, are in hot form, on a winning run and unbeaten in 5 straight, scoring 17 and conceding 5 in 8 league matches of their own. If the hosts score first, the game should open up into an entertaining exchange, because CSM Slatina are not naturally a deep-defending side. But if the other side takes the lead first, Argeş will have to push the tempo, which could make the game swing back and forth. The first half should be a period where both sides are still figuring each other out, with the hosts having a chance to lead before the break, but in the second half CSM Slatina often play better and have a chance to equalise or overtake.
