Game to be played saturday at 18:00 CET

UPDATE: Bistrita's coach Nicolae Manea was sacked! The new one is experienced coach Florin Halagian!

FC Brasov

Antonio Conceicao declared that the game with Gloria Bistrita will be difficult for his team: "It will be a difficult game because Gloria Bistrita fights like us for getting out of the relegation zone, it is a hard working team that fights till the last minute so we need to be very careful. I had a reunion with the team and we all came to the conclusion that we could have gotten more out of the game with Dinamo and we have to go past this moment and concentrate on this next game. This is football, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, important is to improve. It isn't easy for the small clubs to play every 3 days so we need to adapt. We are ready for the though period ahead of us".

Brasov has no team problems for the game with Gloria Bistrita, Rusu coming back to play in defence on the right side, being suspended in the game against Dinamo.

Gloria Bistrita

Coach Nicolae Manea wants his team to put an end to the failure in the last two rounds: "I wouldn't say that it is a crysis at Bistrita, but the fact that we didn't take one point from Targu Mures and U Cluj has to make us think a bit. We will have a though schedule, we didn't escape relegation. I am sure that Craiova and Branesti will fight till the end!"

Coach Manea cannot count on the right side of defensive on defender Alexandru Tudose who got injured in their last game. Predescu and Coroian are not available, the only good news for him being the comeback in the 1st 11 of Sebastian Achim.

Probable team: Albu? - Achim, Szukala, Corallo, Cafasso - Marginean, Anton - Keita, Bajenaru, Cip.Petre – Cavalli; Coach: Nicolae Manea; Injured: Coroian, Tudose, Predescu; Suspended: -; Reserves: Irimia, Velcovici, D'Agostino, Nala?i, Saceanu, Mandea, I.Iordache

LAST GAME(Gloria Bistri?a - Universitatea Cluj 2-4)
Scored: 1-0 Fernando Cafasso (19), 1-1 Adrian Cristea (52), 1-2 Steven Pele (58), 2-2 Fernando Cafasso (68), 2-3 Adrian Cristea (74), 2-4 Tony (90+2)
Gloria Bistri?a: 22. Albu? - 17. S?ceanu, 27. Szukala, 6. Corallo, 18. Cafasso - 16. R. M?rginean (15. Nala?i '67), 29. Anton - 21. Keita (8. D'Agostino '63), 30. B?jenaru (26. I. Iordache '50), 2. C. Petre - 9. Cavalli. Coach: Nicolae Manea.
Universitatea Cluj: 33. Bo?neag - 18. Unguru?an, 6. Abrudan, 5. Pele, 14. Bazzi - 7. Delgado, 8. Nasser, 22. Bo?tin? (24. Balde '80), 30. Ad. Cristea - 11. Machado (26. Tony '71), 9. Cl. Niculescu (20. Cojocnean '36). Coach: Ionut Badea.
Yellow cards: B?jenaru '9, Corallo '89 - Delgado '24, '28, Abrudan '86
Red cards: Delgado '28

Gloria lost surprisingly the home game against U Cluj, 2-4, while they were leading 1-0 and had one player more on the field since the 28th minute when Delgado was sent off. No one from Bistrita cannot explain what happened after half time, because the team had advantage and one player more but recieved 4 goals! It is the second loss in a row and if Manea cannot win this game he will surely be sacked. 

Betting RSS recommends that this game will not be a spectacular one with the result being a draw in the end.
