Gaz Metan Medias

Coach Cristian Pustai declared that FC Brasov is the surprise of this spring: "Following up is another test on home soil, with Brasov. I can say that this team is the surprise of this spring. Since Conceicao came, FC Brasov plays better and had notable results. They lost last round at Bistrita, but they clearley dominated the game and with Dinamo barely lost. This game will be very difficult."

Pustai also declared that his team still has chances for European cups: "We have the same chances for Europa League as before. We will know after 21st of may if we go in Europe or not.

Although they played on their home stadium, Gaz Metan wasn't able to win with U Cluj, finishing with a 2-2 draw, after being down 2 goals at half time. They have made a wrong step towards catching European cups places so they are obliged to win the game tomorrow with Brasov. They are on the 7th place, one point away from Europa League so they need to be very determined tomorrow not to spoil all the work from this season.

After losing at Dinamo, Brasov let down the fans, losing 0-1 in front of Bistrita. Coneicao's team wants to forget quickly the two losses in a row and will want to go to Medias being more motivated because another loss will deepen the crisis. They are 6p from 15th place, the first relegation place. They would need at least a draw not to make their situation difficult. Then, home with CFR they should go for the win.

BettingRSS doesn't recommend a big bet on this game that could go either way but could easily finish as a draw. If we were to make a bet Brasov +0.5 would be our choice with just 5 units. The team plays well under Conceicao but were a bit unlucky. We don't think they will continue the losing streak.
