Poli Iasi is finding themselves only 1 point over the relegation spots and they have every reason to be concerned. Despite the fact they are an attractive team and they manage to create many goal chances, they miss them with ease and this put them in this unpleasant situation. Still, the 4-3-3 module implemented by coach Grigoras suites them like a glove. They had to deal with a lot of injury problems lately, and last round they lost hard at Brasov, 2-0. They were put under pressure for large periods of time cause Brasov is a fierce opponent on home soil, but they still managed some changes, as Iasi isn`t the team who stand and defend. In their last home game they won 1-0 against Pandurii but this scoreline surely doesn`t reflect the total domination enjoyed by Iasi. Cristi Bratu, Ad Ilie and Ignatov are coming back after suspensions, while defender Munteanu will miss the game, for the same reason. Also, right back Buta fully recovered after an injury.
Bistrita
After a 6 games streak without losing, Gloria finally lost, 0-2 at Urziceni. They finally showed their limits, not being able to pose a real threat for all the game. They did some good games before, Halagian`s approach is obvious, their game slightly improved since he came, but they are still the second team from the bottom, without some special quality. They are in desperate need of points but they will have a huge squad problem against Iasi. Playmaker Lucian Sanmartean is suspended, along with striker Hora. If Hora, despite playing some good games lately, is replaceable, Sanmartean`s missing is a big blow, him being a very gifted player and the only one from Gloria`s camp who can decide a game by itself.
Home win
I really believe Iasi will take the 3 points here. Gloria is an ordinary team, but without Sanmartean they will not count in attack. Iasi will probably have total control of the game, and the odds for their win are more than tasty. I will keep the stakes medium, knowing Iasi`s ability to miss dozens of chances every game.
