Both teams coming after failures in the league, Astra losing 2:0 to Brasov while Dinamo lost the big derby with Steaua at the score of 3:1. I'd expect both of them to have low morale for this encounter but with Dinamo taking the plus and rising up again. Dinamo played also in Cup after the loss to Steaua and they managed to win 2:1 against Petrolul and go further in the competition.
Astra lost 2:0 to Brasov, a game in which they didn't play anything and Brasov dominated them all the 90 minutes of the game. Even worse is that two of their players got red cards in that game and will be suspended for the encounter with Dinamo. Could say Astra's coach will have difficulties in picking up a first eleven and players available on the bench. Miranda and N'Doye will be suspended following their red cards, Bruno Miguel will be sent to the second team after his own goal in last game and Matel, Barboianu, Grigore will be missing through injuries. There are rumors that Fatai won't play also which will be a big missing forward for them if it's so. I'd suggest to wait and see official line-ups if gonna be playing medium-high stakes. Also after last game this year, Astra's keeper will say goodbye to the team, the player moving to Kazahstan at FK Taraz so he might be lacking concentration in front of Dinamo's forwards.
Dinamo is coming after a loss in the league in the big Romanian derby against Steaua, where they were beaten with 3:1 even tho' they opened the scoring. After the loss it came a 2:1 win in Cup and they show signs that the loss with Steaua didn't affect them very much. They have a fit squad for today, with the only possible missing being Alexe which is doubtful. CFR drew yesterday to Steaua so therefor they equalized Dinamo at points. If Rapid will win today at Otelul they will surpass Dinamo by 1 point so Dinamo will have to win in order to finish on 1st place before winter brake. Anyway, I expect Dinamo to concentrate and pick 6 points in next two games with Astra and Targu Mures.
For me, Dinamo can win this and it should be more easier taking into consideration that Astra have some first team missings. I'll be waiting official team news and if Fatai will not start I'll be even more confident in taking them. I'll take Dinamo now on AH 0 @ 1,50 and later before game will start I'll see if to take them away win with bigger stake.
Selection: Away Win 0 AH @ 1,50
Selection: Away Win @ 2,20
I fancy also Stoke vs. Spurs both to score but I'll see later if I'll take them also....see more
