Romania - Liga 1 - Gloria Bistrita vs Vaslui

Game to be played at 19:30 CET

Gloria Bistrita

Unhappy with the results with FCM Tg. Mures (0-2) and U Cluj (2-4), Jean Padureana wants to dismiss coach Nae Manea and replace him with Florin Halagian. He arrived on the bench since saturday evening, in Brasov, as technical director, but kept Manea in his staff. "It was a positive thing the coming of Halagian." said Padureanu.

Manea & Halagian's team will be more relaxed in this game, because the win in Brasov made them go away of the relegation zone. As in the game with Brasov, the hosts cannot count on Coroian, Tudose and Predescu, all injured, in addition Cafasso D'Agostino and Marginean will also be out.

Probable team: Albut - Achim, Szukala, Corallo, Velcovici - Nalati, Anton - Keita, Bajenaru, Cip.Petre – Cavalli; Coach: Nicolae Manea. DT: Florin Halagian; Injured: Coroian, Tudose, Predescu, Cafasso, D'Agostino; Suspended: Marginean; Backups: Irimia, V.Nastase, Balba, Saceanu, Costache, Mandea, I.Iordache

Gloria obtained a surprising win away at Brasov, score 1-0, a result that made them get a nice lead in front of the first relegation spot. Even if they have a difficult programme, they have small chances to go to Liga 2. Bistrita will have a difficult match with FC Vaslui, a team that fights for title, everyone being thankfull if they will get at least a draw hoping to get 3p at Urziceni, in the next game.

FC Vaslui

Coach Viorel Hizo declared that his team hopes for winning the Liga 1 title if they win today at Gloria Bistrita. "If we win with Bistrita you might say that we are in the fight for the title. The game with Bistrita is very difficult because we meet a team that came back to life after winning 1-0 with Brasov. We will need lot of work, attitude and big sacrifices", said Hizo.

Forward Yero Bello will miss today's game. In this conditions, the one that will replace him will be Christian Pouga, a player that was introduced on the field in the last minutes of Vaslui's last games. Another possibility could be Mike Temwanjera, a player that hopes to play for a long time now. Being replaced at HT with Dinamo, Wesley seems to have just a dislocated shoulder and will miss today's game. This will be a big blow for Vaslui, Wesley being a player that can make the difference on the field.
