Romanian League
2012-08-18 - Gloria Bistrita vs Vaslui
A Sports Betting Pick by ROzsolt
Football : Romania : Liga 1
Venue: "Gloria", Bistrita
Saturday 18th July – Kickoff time: 19:00 GMT+2
Gloria Bistrita
Gloria Bistrita is one of the three teams at the bottom of the table with only one point collected so far after four rounds.
The situation at Bistrita can be described as desperate, the newly promoted is struggling financially and there’s no certainty that they will be able to finish this season in Liga 1.
They haven’t been able to improve the squad significantly in the summer transfer period, there are only a few players that can rise up to the Liga 1 level. Striker Cornel Predescu is one of them, he already scored 2 goals so far, which is actually as many as Gloria has scored.
Vaslui
After the disappointing elimination from the UCL qualifiers, Vaslui couldn’t recover mentally and were unable to win their home game against the revelation Pandurii Tg. Jiu in a match that ended goalless.
Vaslui has been the most active team on the transfer market, after signing more than a dozen of players in the summer, they’ve recently bought two other Romanian talents, winger Varga and striker Curelea.
On paper, Vaslui and CFR Cluj have the best squads, maybe Steaua can be considered close to them, so in my opinion there are good hances to see this three on the podium at the end of the season.
Vaslui had a week to recover and prepare this match, so I expect them to be at 100% and win this before their Europa League game against Inter Milano.
The Betting Verdict
With only one point in their bag, Gloria Bistrita’s future is not bright, they’ll keep on struggling until the end of this year when they’ll be able to make some changes.
Gloria thought that the team that won Liga 2 will be strong enough to hold up in Liga 1, but that’s just not the way it is.
Vaslui on the other hand is looking for a chance to recover after the elimination form the CL and this match against a newly promoted should be the best occasion to build some confidence.
