Gloria Buzau vs. Unirea Urziceni

After the Euro qualif. matches, we are now back in action with the regular soccer matches. The first match which caught my eye for this weekend is the Liga I match in which Gloria Buzau are to host Unirea Urziceni.When i first saw the odds the bookmakers offer for a U. Urziceni win i was very surprised.I expected a max odd of 1.60, and when i saw 1.90 i couldn't believe my eyes.
The truth is that the bookmakers did, in some extent, calculate the odds right, but they didn't take in consideration all the facts.If you look at the results that Gloria has had so far this season, you'll clearly see they are not fit for Liga I ( despite the fact that at the beginning of the season i believed they would perform much better).The results they have also indicate that they play a little bit better at home, where they even have a win.This is one reason for the offered odds.But the main reason is that Unirea Urziceni is on the road.And so far Unirea has a 1-1-1 record on the road.But all 3 matches on the road were against teams that perform very well at home, even with the top teams.So, in fact this is the first away match for Unirea that is against a more facile team. I have to say that the statistics don't really show what the two teams really play on the field.Unirea is in my opinion the strong team, with some very talented players.As if that wasn't enough they also have Dan Petrescu as couch.One of the best couches in Liga I, if you ask me.He has always managed to create something out of nothing at all the teams he couched. On the other side Gloria has got some problems with the defense department.And when i think that Gloria's defense has to keep up with Stancu and Danalache, Unirea's strikers ( top goal scorers in Liga I with 4 goals each) i can only see one possible results for this one.
Many argue that Gloria has played well in the last home match against CFR a team that is in the battle for the title.But i have to say that even taking in consideration this fact i see Unirea as the favorites in this match and with such odds i simply can't miss out on this one. I've already placed a large stake on a Unirea win.GL to all.

Pick: Unirea win
Odds: 1.95 @ Betsson

Well, maibe Urziceni is better team here, but Gloria have 2 weeks for prepare and with the new coach .... i think here is the advantage of home ground, because they play next time at Rapid and if they want to colect point then must colect at home. Maybe a draw here or Gloria win.

too bad
i know it's easy to say now (after the game finnished), but you should`ve consider that Gloria changed their manager 2-3 weeks ago and he started with a loss. he's motivated
also, it's easier to destroy a game (not lose) than to create attach chances.
i just hope you did not lost a lot of money.

hai sa castigam cat mai multi bani ;)

U. Craiova vs. UTA

Craiova started the season with a 4-0 win in the first match, but after that nothing.And i mean nothing.Not one point.Nothing.
They had such high hopes for this season.If they don't get a win in this match, the scenario from 3 season ago could repeat again.In that season they had talented players in the squad,but lost most matches at the start of the season and than it just got harder and harder to get out of the relegation zone and of course relegated that season.
Today they must and can obtain a win.In the last two matches they were unlucky.The last match at home was against Unirea Urziceni and if it wasn't for a late penalty, Craiova could have won a point.As for the last match, against Rapid, on the road, Craiova, showed some improvements and stood up to Rapid quite well until a lucky goal came in the 80th min. from Rapid's brazilian player Cesinha and than a second goal came naturally in the extra time.
One after another, the facts are that Craiova play at home and will need a win here.UTA is a team that doesn't play great on the road, so UTA is an accessible team.
If Craiova don't get a win today, it will be difficult for them in this season.
My money is on a Craiova win

Poli Timisoara vs. FC Vaslui

Vaslui is on top of Liga I.That's not right.Vaslui is a good team, but not that good.A thing that should be noticed about the two teams is that both are very offensive.As i said Vaslui in on first and Poli Timisoara in on 5th.Good position for both teams and that is all due to the fact that both have shown very offensive line-ups.
Poli's last match at UTA finished 3-2 for Poli.After about 20 min. Poli were up 2-0 but UTA managed to score 2 and could have scored much more but faith had it that Poli won in the end 3-2.
Most people expect Vaslui to lose as they are on a to high position on the tables.But for them to lose Poli need to score and as they play at home and judging by the 3 goals they scored and the way they received the 2 goals in the last match i believe they can score more than one goal and receive at least one.
I imagine that this match could finish 2-1 or 3-1.So, i hope for a high scoring match and so my money is on over 2.5 goals.

Poli Iasi vs. Dinamo Buc.

Dinamo started this season really bad and during this short break some things chanced at the club.The first thing and most important one is that the couch has chanced."Ioan Andone" has resigned and was replaced by "Walter Zenga".Big things are expected now from Dinamo.We all know that when a new couch comes the entire atmosphere at the team chances and better results should come.
Poli Iasi is a good team at home and they proved it on several occasions; but Dinamo can't go too much time without a win.They need points and i believe they are more than capable of obtaining all 3 today.
I'll go with Dinamo.

Univ. Cluj vs. Gloria Bistrita

A match where newly promoted Univ. Cluj host Gloria Bistrita.Gloria is the favorite and should win this one.All the matches Gloria has so far on the road were very hard one. They had to face Rapid, Vaslui and then Dinamo.And despite the opponents they had they managed to obtaine a 1-1-1 record.The last match was against Dinamo and managed to win 1-0.
But no two matches are alike.And now they have to travel to Cluj to show everyone that the win against Dinamo wasn't a mistake.
Univ. Cluj is on the last position and the future doesn't look so bright for them.
More could be said here but it will not make any difference.I went with AH Gloria Bistrita (0).
