Romania - Cup - Gloria Bistrita vs Dinamo

Dinamo will play tonight at Bistrita the first game in the semifinals for Romanian Cup.

Ioan Andone's players are favourites in the game with Gloria, although playing away, while coach Ioan Andone proposed that his team will not conceede a goal tonight. He also said that he will not rest any player, although at the begining of next week there will be the Derby of Romania (Steaua - Dinamo).

Romanian cup is the fastest way into european cups, so Ioan Andone will treat with maximum seriosity this game. "The dogs" lost midfielder Anderi Margaritescu, who is in police custody after being accused to have relations with a crime group that sells stolen cars.

Although surprisingly going this far, Gloria hopes to repeat the performance from last rounds and to catch the final at Brasov. To go into the semifinals, Gloria has played 3 games, with Astra Giurgiu, Unirea Urziceni and CFR Cluj.

Halagian's team has the best home record from the teams that fight for relegation in the league. Gloria has 6 home wins, one against Steaua. More over, in half of the games Gloria didn't recieve a single goal. This is available also for the games played in Romanian Cup.

Probable teams:

BISTRITA: Albut - Achim, Szukala, Corallo, Cafasso - Marginean, P. Anton - Keita, Nalati, Bajenaru - Bilba
Substitutes: Irimia, Nastase, Velcovici, Saceanu, Mandea, Iordache, Pasenciuc

DINAMO: Balgradean - Barboianu, Dr Grigore, Gaman, Diabate - Bakaj, D. kone, B. Patrascu, C. Munteanu - Danciulescu, Tucudean
Substitutes: Naumovski, R. Stanescu, Alexe, Bordeanu, L. Ganea, Mehmedovici, L. Ganea, V. Munteanu

For me, this will be an open game. Both teams will want to score from this first leg and to not have a big problem in the return game. Both teams will field their strongest bunch and by seeing how many goals Dinamo takes lately although they have power in attack we see a game set to go over.
