Romanian League
2010-09-22 - Juventus Bucuresti vs FC Timisoara
A Sports Betting Pick by ROzsolt
Football: Romanian Cup
Bucuresti, Romania
Wednesday 22th September – Kickoff time: 16:00 GMT+2
Juventus Bucuresti (2nd league)
Juventus Bucuresti was founded in 1924 and won their first and only title in 1930. Since then, there is not much to tell about this team, over the last years they've been struggling between 2nd and 3rd league.
This season Juventus played 4 games in the second league, losing 3 of them and having one victory, 3-2 against Delta Tulcea. Those 3 points places them 12th out of 16 teams.
Juventus reached this stage of the competition eliminating FC Arges in the previous round after a 1-0 victory.
FC Timisoara
Timisoara have never won a trophy in Romania despite being very close twice in the Romanian cup, they were runner-ups in 2007 and 2009 and they finished second in the league two seasons ago.
New coach, Cosmin Contra made a nice debut in front of their own fans, winning against Sportul Studentesc after a nice comeback from 0-1. Contra will try to keep his team motivated for this match because the cup is an important objective for Timisoara this year.
After 8 stages played in the championship, Timisoara is the only undefeated team so far but despite that they are only 6th on the table having 14 points.
The betting verdict
The level between the two leagues seems to be too big in order to see any major surprises. Petrolul Ploiesti who is a candidate for promotion this season was crushed by Rapid Bucuresti yesterday 5-0.
The same score was registered in the game between Universitatea Craiova and Minerul Lupeni.
Timisoara are in a run for a trophy from some time so the easiest way to reach their target is by winning the Cup because winning the championship is a lot harder to achieve.
Juventus are a mediocre team and will try to take the match to extra-time but I don't think they can hold Timisoara for 90 minutes so at 1.5 the away win is worth a shot.
The Pick :
Juventus Bucuresti 0-2 FC Timisoara
