Two games I like on last day for the Romanian 1st Round of the season and hopefully there won't be any surprises in the end.
Petrolul Ploiesti - Otelul Galati
Another game between a newly promoted team and one of the top teams in Liga I in Romania. I find odds for the champions quite attractive and after seeing them play in Super Cup I fancy them to take all three points easily. Petrolul Ploiesti gonna have a hard start of the season, playing first three rounds with strong teams from Liga I and that's why probably the coach also aimed for a modest 7-8 points in first 5 rounds only. Thay have problems in the defensive line, having only two experienced players in the central defense and no other on the reserve list. Another disadvantage for Petrolul is that they are not gonna play at home as they are supposed to and instead they will play on another stadium becuz their stadium is under construction at the moment so the supporting crowd which is supposed to be standing for them at first game in Liga I will be missed. Petrolul changed it's team drastically in this summer brake so players might as well not be used to each other yet and they might lack the focus and pace of a homogeneous team.
Otelul on the other hand, kept same coach and same players for 2-3 years now and that could be a great plus for the current champions. They started well this season winning the Super Cup after a game in which they dominated and controlled the ball smoothly. They will have easy games in first three rounds of the season playing only newly promoted teams therefore they gonna aim for all three points in each of those games. I fancy them to fight and grab as much as possible from the start before they will have to play in Champions League also. Three of their tital rivals this year won their first game already and I'm sure Otelul will want to stand between them at the top of the league and not drop points against teams like Petrolul. They have good players, fast ones and with a fighting mentality and I can't see something else other than a victory for the guests. Away win odds are at 2,15 ( dropped since last week when they were at 2,40 ) and I'm going to take that with maybe a back-up on the correct score 0:0.
Selection: Away Win @ 2,15
Concordia Chiajna - Sportul Studentesc
These two teams played once more on 1st of July in a friendly game, where Sportul managed to grab a 2:1 victory. Concordia Chiajna is for the first time since 54 years when they play in Liga I and emotions and inexperience for top league might be a disadvantage. However, they play at home and that could be a boost for them. They have a modest team which gonna try hard and survive this year into Liga I. Sportul was supposed to relegate, but due to the mess we had with the license approval for many teams in Romania ( More exactly 4 teams not receiving the license ) and with one team being abolished they stayed in Liga I this season also. If last year they didn't complete even the standard 25 points by the end of the season, this year they will want to stay away from the red zone and a start against a newly promoted team seems just the right test for them. The good thing for them is that they managed to hold on their star players from last season.
Sportul has more experience and a better side and I'm sure they will run into this encounter after all three points, but a draw is never out of the call considering Chiajna plays at home in front of their fans and being the first game in Liga I for them they will try to impress.
Selection: Away Win or Draw @ 1,44
