Romania - Liga 1 - Unirea Urziceni vs CFR Cluj

Unirea Urziceni

Coach Marian Pana got used to the thought of his team relegating in the 2nd league and asks the boys to at least get to 25 points until the end of the championship. He cannot count on important midfielder Iulian Apostol who recieved a red card with Bistrita and was suspended 2 rounds .
Probable team: Cernea - E.Nicu, Busca, Mera, Tosca - Toba, Muzac, Patras, Senin - Rusescu, Mihalcea; Coach: Marian Pana; Uncertain: R.Paduretu  (conflict with coach); Suspended: Apostol; Substitutes: Curca, Scarlatescu, Tene, Marcu, Teusan, Ionita, Toba, Lupu

LAST GAME(Gaz Metan Medias - Unirea Urziceni 2-0)
Scored: 1-0 Alexandru Muntean (37), 2-0 Alin Litu (82)
Gaz Metan Medias: 12. Plesca - 15. Hoban, 19. Lazar, 13. Akaki, 8. Buzean - 21. Todea - 5. Al. Muntean (17. Dudita'61), 22. Parvulescu, 18. Bawab (6. Bozesan '58) - 27. Eric de Oliveira, 20. Roman (9. Litu '73). Coach: Cristian Pustai.
Unirea Urziceni: 77. Cernea - 15. Busca, 16. E. Nicu, 5. Ionita (22. Scarlatescu '60), 24. Mera - 9. Toba (17. Tene '80), 28. Patras, 6. Muzac (28. Marcu '86), 20. Tosca - 31. Senin, 14. Rusescu. Coach: Marian Pana.
Yellow cards: Litu '82 - Toba '53

As expected, Unirea Urziceni lost the game at Medias, 0-2 and is practicaly relegated. Marian Pana's team is at 10 points from 14th place and to get back these much points in 6 points is impossible. The only objective is to reach 25p. 

CFR 1907 Cluj

Ionut Rada promisses that CFR will be back to their old form in the end of this championship although they will meet 3 teams that fight for a place in European Cups. "Everybody is angry, dissapointed and fustrated. We need to clean the shame and obtain positive results until the end of the championship. We didn't expect to lose so many points. We, the players, are to blame and we need to show that we are men and can win against top teams."

Defensive midfielder Gabi Muresan injured himself at a training and couldn't play with Vaslui but now he will be back and will probably be used from the 1st minute with Urziceni.

Probable team: Minca - Nuno Diogo, Cadu, Rada, Panin – Sare - E.Kone, Peralta, Nicoara – Bastos, Bus; Coach: Alin Minteuan; Injured: Kapetanos, De Zerbi, Piccolo, Edimar; Uncertain: Maftei; Suspended: -; Substitutes: Nuno Claro, Batin, Hora, Kivuvu, Veloso, Maftei, Muresan, E.Dica

LAST GAME(CFR 1907 Cluj - FC Vaslui 1-0)
Scored: 1-0 Ricardo Cadu (28p)
CFR Cluj: 32. Minca - 55. Diogo, 20. Cadu, 24. Rada, 4. Panin - 28. Kone, 5. Sare, 18. Peralta, 11. Nicoara (85. Bud '80)- 16. Bastos (8. Kivuvu '73), 25. Bus (22. Hora '63). Coach: Alin Minteuan.
FC Vaslui: 1. Kuciak - 3. Papp (19. Temwanjera '69), 28. Canu, 26. Farkas, 17. Balace - 18. Sanmartean, 4. Genchev (23. Pavlovici '33), 80. Wesley, 8. Gheorghiu (11. Milislavljevici '57) - 10. Adailton, 25. Yero Bello. Coach: Viorel Hizo.
Yellow cards: Bus '45, Bastos '56, Panin '61, Sare '81, Minca '84, Kone '90+1 - Sanmartean '75, '90
Red card: Sanmartean '90

CFR Cluj managed to get a surprising result with Vaslui, winning 1-0. Minteuan's team obtained a win after 6 rounds and it isn't late to hope for a place in Europa League if they win all the games until the end. They will play with teams that fight for a place in European Cups and are 8 points away from Rapid, Steaua and Dinamo. They hope to get the win here and make 2 wins in a row.

Urziceni isn't a team that could harm anyone nowadays, but as I saw in the last game, Cluj isn't at their best. A bet of only 4 units should go on CFR as we don't have enough confidence in CFR.
