Astra Giurgiu vs. Otelul Galati

It's an obvious home win game as many would say, but I'm really not tempted any more by small odds. I took a small break from betting last round, and as I've seen it came at the right moment with many underdogs surprising us. First game between these two this season ended 4:0 for Astra on away ground and today we see again the best attacking forward line vs the worse defence in Liga I.
Astra played an important game vs. Petrolul last round, which ended in a 1:1 draw but they were quite unlucky to concede in last minute of the game after playing in 10 players for about last 20 minutes. It was a spectacular game to watch, seen chances for both teams and seen Astra creating even after they were with one men less on the field. They are 6 points behind Steaua and it will be tougher and tougher to fight for the title if they gonna lose points again. For today they have suspended both defensive midfielders Yahaya and Laban and I think the defence will feel more pressure from the attacking opposition than in their usual games.
Otelul lost to Ceahlaul on home ground even tho' they created a couple of chances and deserved much more from this encounter. They sit only one point above the relegation line but in my opinion their position doesn't really reflect the game they practice. Almost every game they played this year I've seen them trying hard to fight for points and it's a side which by the end of the season I believe could sit happily at the middle of the table. They were very unlucky a lot lately and eventually things will turn around in their favour. Disappointing for the player is the fact that they didn't receive their salaries for past few months and they are trying too hard to play well for someone who doesn't get paid for the job he does. Adamescu announced this week that he want's to sell the club, and this could be good news for everyone, hopefully with someone interested in football to take over. Cooper, Astafei and Tudorie did really good going forward and if Astra will play attacking as they most of the time do, they could have some space to create today.

The odds on home win are too small considering everything. Yes it should be a home win, but Otelul puts a lot of passion in their games lately and I wouldn't be surprised to see another upset. I think the value lies on the overs here, and you can catch over 2.5 at evens if you really want. I'll play safe and go for Over 2.25 but I will raise my stake.

Recommended Bet: Over 2.25 @ 1.80 with Bet365 - 6/10 Units
Possible Result: 2:1

ZacharaelNice congratz.! My bet went half void half loss, but was all about bad luck. There was a goal canceled, penalty not given, then penalty missed in second half...
