A real test for Bihor and Unirea 04
Odds and form
Bihor Oradea will be favourites to beat Unirea 2004 Slobozia on Saturday, but the matchup is likely to be tighter than the odds indicate, even if the hosts get the win. Bihor, who are 1.85 favourites against the visitors' 3.7 odds and 3.4 odds on the draw, have been in solid form recently, but with a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat in their last five games, they aren't in rampaging form.
Best result and tactics
Their best result during that spell came last time out in a 3-1 home victory over Chindia Targoviste and proved that this team can hit hard and quick on the counter. Erik Lincar's men can play a flexible 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 system, mixing up the pace of the game and pressing smartly to try to turn their opponents over.
Opposition approach
Unirea 2004, on the other hand, are the sort of team that will aim to keep the game tight and steady, particularly on the road.
Back Under 2.5 goals
Our main selection for this game has to be the Under 2.5 goals at 1.8 because it is too close to call for Bihor to win and too tight a game to expect a landslide.
- FC Unirea 2004's last five matches have yielded 0 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.
- Both Teams To Score - No at 1.9 also looks attractive because there are goals in this Bihor team and Cristian Ponde, who can play the central No.10 or in a dual attack.
- Unirea have had few goals in the box of late with just five in their last 5 and their best finisher, Cristian Ponde, has three of them.
