Universitatea Craiova vs Chindia: Top Free Betting Tips

Both teams have been struggling lately, so this game is important for both teams. Here are our predictions.

Total Goals Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals

Both sides have been involved in a bunch of goal-packed games lately but we expect the complete opposite from this match. There is a lot of history between these two teams from the last few years and let me tell you – there is never an over between them. All five most recent games between the two teams ended with less than 2.5 goals.

Match Result Prediction: Universitatea Craiova to Win

Craiova have had their worst period since the start of the season and quickly lost the position near the top of the table. The team cannot afford to lose more points right now and Chindia is the perfect opportunity to win three easier points. Even though they had bad results, Craiova remain one of the best home teams and we expect them to win this game.

Correct Score Prediction: 1:0 to Craiova

Neither of these teams is among the high-scoring sides, so we do not expect a lot of goals in this match. We also explained the rivalry between the two teams above. What's more, there has never been more than one goal in a match between the two teams at Universitatea Craiova. Most of their wins this season have been with one goal too. We expect this to be the final scoreline.

Universitatea Craiova vs Chindia: Form, Recent Games, and News

Universitatea Craiova Preview

Craiova have always been one of the top teams in Romania and finished in Top 3 in five consecutive seasons. However, they did not win the title in any of those. Until recently, the team was one of the main contenders to win the title but their recent form has put them far behind the current leaders. Craiova will still fight for Top 3 this season but we feel like the title is out of reach already.

Chindia Targoviste Preview

Chindia have never been a top side here and generally, the team entered the elite only four years ago. They have been a constant around the middle of the table, however, and we expect them to remain in the league at least one more season. Their performances this year have been disappointing but with some improvement in defense, they can fight for the upper half of the table.
