2012-08-24 - Gaz Metan Medias vs CS Turnu Severin
A Sports Betting Pick by ROzsolt
Football : Romania : Liga 1
Venue: "Gaz Metan", Medias
Friday 24th August – Kickoff time: 21:30 GMT+2
Gaz Metan Medias
Gaz Metan recorded their first victory this season against the newly promoted Viitorul Constanta thanks to a late goal from Victoras Astafei.
Cristi Pustai's squad suffered a lot in that game, Viitorul played in 10 men for more than an hour and even finished the game with two players less, but Medias needed 80 minutes to score a goal.
However, Gaz Metan can be considered to be in decent form, they've avoided a defeat against leaders Steaua Bucuresti on their previous home game, which was the only match Steaua failed to win this season in Liga 1.
CS Turnu Severin
The four newly promoted teams occupy the last four positions on the table, which is a clear indicator of the discrepancy between Liga 1 and 2.
Without great financial possibilities, Turnu Severin didn't managed to strengthen their squad in the summer transfer period and the result is that they've only collected one point after five rounds.
The future looks grim for Turnu Severin, the games against top teams are yet to come, so at this point i wouldn't give them too many chances to avoid relegation at the end of the season.
The Betting Verdict
No newly promoted team (and there are four) has managed to win a game this season after five rounds, so no surprises are expected ahead of this clash.
With only one point collected in five games, Turnu Severin will now travel to Medias, a place that even top teams find it hard to leave unbeaten.
I can't say that Medias is playing a great football at the moment, but they are solid at home and they'll face a mediocre side, so the home win seems to be the only logical outcome of this match.
