Mihai Costea was sent off the team because he didn't want to enter the training camp. "Who will not train, will not play.

FCM was afraid of the game with CFR, being thankfull with 1p. Anyway, FCM took 4 points from the champion. With 9 rounds to go, FCM has 8points over the relegation line and the game with U Craiova shouldn't turn to be a loss for them. 

Although not winning for 12 rounds, Bettingrss recommends a medium bet on Craiova.
