Botosani’s new boss has the ‘structure’ to shock the visitors
No recent form to consider when judging this opening round clash, as both sides enter at zero on the points, so we are going to take a look at the respective cultures of these clubs and their new bosses. The FC Botosani vs FC Farul Constanta preview is particularly interesting given the contrasts in each team’s approach and managerial style.
FC Botosani currently stand at the top of the table, in first place in the alphabet that is, but as the campaign is yet to commence neither they nor Farul who are positioned in ninth can lay claim to any points or matches played.
Leontin Grozavu has been at the helm since January 2025 and is known for getting his sides organised, keeping a solid defensive shape and looking for chances to exploit on the break. They will be very tough to break down at home and will get at you with pace on the counter.
Farul on the other hand have traditionally been a team that will play technical football and build from the back, making quick transitions after turnover balls and applying pressure to the opponents high up the pitch. For the FC Botosani vs FC Farul Constanta prediction, new manager Ianis Zicu promises a change to that philosophy for the 2025/2026 Liga I campaign, so it will be interesting to see if Farul can add some bite to their play.

Farul will be hopeful that they can end their winless streak of 3 consecutive away games against Botosani on Monday, but we think the momentum lies with the favourites this time around, which is also reflected in our FC Botosani vs FC Farul Constanta prediction.
This clash is a real mystery box in terms of which way it may go, but we feel that Botosani’s defensive structure and Farul’s need to be proactive can make this a cagey affair at times, but an open game when the pressure mounts.
