Steaua Bucharest vs Farul Constanta
FreeRomanian giants Steaua Bucharest tonight entertain Farul Constanta. The visitors are on the worst run of form in the division, having lost the last 5 games in a row. To be honest, I thoroughly expect that trend to continue when they visit Steaua Bucharest – but not to be a whitewash. Why? Well, I’d like to say it’s simple, but it’s not. The side simply aren’t playing as well as they can. My personal opinion is that the loss of Radoi has done more damage to them than they anticipated or had time to prepare for. That aside, with the form the visitors are in, I’d fancy Steaua Bucharest’s Under 18 team to win this game with considerable ease. If that’s not enough for you, then also consider the fact that Farul Constanta have lost their last four trips to Stadionul Ghencea and you’re staring down the barrel of a home win. My advice is stay away from handicaps because Steaua’s goalscoring is not convincing at the moment. I’d probably say 2-0 at a push, and under 2.5 should be a relatively safe bet.
Friday’s Picks
My tips:
Tonight, there’s a 4-team accumulator that has “winner” written all over it! I really fancy Besiktas SK, Peterborough United, Derry City and FC Zwolle to do the business. The odds aren’t as good as I’d like for a 4-team accumulator, coming in at 5/1 or just below, but it’s certainly worth a punt.
These next 3 trebles I like also – just not as much as the teams I’ve backed above. I’ve also put them in order of likelihood.
Scunthorpe United, AZ Alkmaar, Metz
Montpellier, Boulogne, RKC Waalwijk
CFR Cluj, Wolverhampton Wanderers, IF Elfsborg
Lastly, we have the riskier bet(s) that are trebles comprised of sides that have a decent chance of winning you some money. I’ve also listed these sides in order of likelihood.
FC Nordsjaelland, Morecambe, FC Tours
Mantova, VVV Venlo, Vitoria Guimaraes
