Corvinul are the top dogs in the Championship Group
Standings and style
CS Corvinul are top of the Liga 2 Championship Group 2026 table with 65 points from seven matches and have been the most consistent team in the division this season. Florin Maxim’s pragmatic tactics have made them a tough to break side with a solid back four, they are dangerous on the break and always a threat from set pieces.
Home form and recent results
- They have an impressive home record in Liga 2 this season (W2, L1) and have conceded just 0.33 goals per match on average at home.
- Corvinul are in mixed form (W3, L2), but have enjoyed some impressive results away recently, beating FC Bihor Oradea and Steaua Bucuresti.
- They will be in familiar territory on Wednesday, Corvinul’s only recent home match resulted in a win and Maxim’s side look to be a fortress at the moment.
Voluntari must win to keep promotion race alive
In 3rd place with 58 points from the seven games played so far, FC Voluntari are right behind their opponents at the top of the table and will be desperate to keep the pressure on at Corvinul’s expense. Christian Florin Pirvu has implemented a high-tempo, attack-minded approach since his appointment in April 2025, Voluntari usually line up in either a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 and are a threat when they play in these formations.
Pirvu’s men have been in excellent form, unbeaten in the last five (W4, D1) and on a three-game winning streak. Voluntari have been impressive away from home in Liga 2 this term, unbeaten on the road (W2, D1) and averaging 1.67 goals per game away from home. Mihai Roman has been their danger man of late, the forward has four goals in Voluntari’s last eight and will be a clinical option up top.
Tight match-up at the summit
When these two met three weeks ago, Voluntari pipped Corvinul to the post in a 1-0 victory at home in the Liga 2 Championship Group 2026, a result which left Voluntari in 3rd place and Corvinul at the very top. Voluntari will need to be in form to match the hosts and as slight underdogs at 3.59, the value looks to be with the visitors.
Voluntari’s fast-paced game is a foil to Corvinul’s compact and opportunistic style and both teams to score, at 1.86, is the pick. The clash of these two very different styles should lead to a chess match with the momentum shifting between each side and the pressure of a crucial promotion battle.
