A Sports Betting Pick by ROzsolt

Gloria Bistrita v Dinamo Bucuresti
Football: Romanian Liga 1
Venue: Gloria, Bistrita
Friday 22th October – Kickoff time: 20:30 GMT+2

---

Gloria Bistrita (16th W-2 D-4 L-5)

Gloria is a team with not many pretentions in Liga 1, their objective is to avoid relegation. The small investments they made cannot allow them to hope for any better, this is a club that raises their players or brings ones that are free agents. They manage to ‘export’ their players at incredible sums for this level, they’ve sold Laszlo Sepsi to Benfica for 2.2m euro.

Gloria’s next important business could be made by selling their best player at this time, Brazilian Junior Moraes who was bought for only 200 000 euro. He is valued at around 1.5m at the moment and he will be the biggest threat for Dinamo’s defense. His partner in front is his brother, Bruno Moraes, quite unusual I would say.

Bistrita is one of the 6 teams that are keeping a clean record at home, not being defeated yet. However, all team that traveled to Bistrita this season are placed 10th or less. Their goal is to secure 3 points against teams of an equal value, any point from games like this, against favorites like Dinamo, Steaua or CFR Cluj is a bonus. That doesn’t mean Dinamo will have an easy job.

13.08.2010 Liga 1 Etapa 4 Gloria Bistrita 3 - 0 Pandurii Tg. Jiu
31.07.2010 Liga 1 Etapa 2 Gloria Bistrita 1 - 1 Astra Ploiesti

Dinamo Bucuresti (7th W-5 D-2 L-4)

Dinamo is coming after their most important victory this season, a 2-1 home win against traditional rivals Steaua Bucuresti. The game wasn’t brilliant, especially in the second half when with the idea of preserving their first half lead, they let Steaua dominate and they came close to the equalizer several times. It ended 2-1 and it should boost up their morale before this game against Bistrita.

Midfielder Ousmane N'Doye is suspended for this game and will be replaced by Kone while central-back Garat is injured. These are the only absences worth to mention in Dinamo’s squad.

Since Gheorghe Hagi took over Galatasaray, there are some rumors that winger Gabriel Torje could leave Dinamo for Turkey in the winter break. Hagi is the coach that promoted him when he was only 16 years old playing for Timisoara, transferring to Dinamo for 2m euro a few years later. Now he is one of the best players from the league and Galatasaray will have to fight with Borussia Dortmund to obtain his signature. The transfer fee will be around 5m euro.

Dinamo last 5 away results:

27.09.2010 Liga 1 Etapa 9 Unirea Urziceni 1 - 0 Dinamo
12.09.2010 Liga 1 Etapa 7 FC Brasov 2 - 2 Dinamo
21.08.2010 Liga 1 Etapa 5 FCM Târgu-Mureş 2 - 6 Dinamo
08.08.2010 Liga 1 Etapa 3 Pandurii Tg. Jiu 2 - 2 Dinamo
25.07.2010 Liga 1 Etapa 1 Astra Ploiesti 1 - 2 Dinamo

The Betting Verdict

Gloria failed to score in their previous two home games but that should change as Dinamo conceded goals in every one of their 11 matches. Their defense is the worst from the league with 22 goals conceded so far, that’s an average of exactly 2 goals per match.

However, they are lucky with their offensive game, scoring the most from the league, 27 so far, an average of 2.4 per match.

I’m not expecting Bistrita to defend despite playing against Dinamo they also play at home. Of course they’ll take precautions but a clash between two teams that are not afraid to open up could end in some goals. Dinamo are favorites and they can be found above evens, which is worth to take, low-medium stakes.
