FC Brasov

Coach Antonio Conceicao seems to be confident in his players and believes in their chance of winning this game against Otelu : "I have faith in a good result. I feel the guys motivated,  they want to win this game and this gives me hope and make me be optimistic. I liked the way they have trained in these two weeks. We started the championship with good games and we would like to continue the same. Friday it will be a difficult game, because Otelul is on 1st place in the championship and will surely come to Brasov to win."

Defender Adrian Rusu is convinced that Brasov will win this game: "We prepared well in this timeout. We are fully aware that it will be a difficult match. We will meet a team that plays all the 90 minutes. It will be a challenging game. We don't care that Otelul are on 1st place, important for us is to win."

Midfielder Nuno Viveiros, important player for Brasov has doubts regarding this game as he is injured at a knee. Despite his wish of  playing in this match, he might not be able to. Besides him, Concencaio has all the team available.

Otelul played its best game this year against U Cluj winning with 3-0. With 12 rounds till the end of the season, they have only 2 points ahead of Timisoara, the team on the 2nd place and they have a very difficult program. One thing is certain, Otelul will play in Europa League at least this fall. They will go to Brasov as favourite and a win will make them be closer to the objective of becoming champions this year.
