Fcm Targu Mures : Cfr Cluj
Tough game for FCM Targu-Mures, which are gonna play against a team with high aspirations for this season, CFR Cluj. Targu-Mures improved and bought couple of new players but that might be a disadvantage. There was a lack of homogeneity in last round against Dinamo for FCM who played in first eleven with 6 new players and I think it gonna be felt again today with some players not fitting perfectly in the squad yet.
CFR Cluj started as expected with an easy victory against Astra (2:0) and Jorge Costa is aiming to get maximum of points from first 5 encounters. They signed some talented players but also kept most of the team from last season. Sougou made a good game last round and the coach is happy with team's play who did a good job. I watched the game and CFR Cluj dominated during all 90 minutes, Astra having few to none chances of changing the game's display. Away factor might be a disadvantage but CFR doesn't have to travel a long way for this game as the two towns the team's are from are next to each other.
In my opinion CFR Cluj will go into this encounter with high confidence and a winning mentality and will fight for full points while FCM might be happy with a draw and concentrate on maximum of points against easier opponents on next two rounds.
Selection: Away Win or Draw @ 1,30
Selection: Away Win @ 2,25
Vaslui : Petrolul
Vaslui had a horrible start considering that last season they had good chances of catching the championship. I'm kinda disappointed with their team; They played attractive soccer last year being a very nice surprise to the Romanian League but they didn't play much in first 2 official games of this season. First round they lost to a score of 3:0 against Rapid Bucharest and 4 days ago they lost to Twente 2:0 in CHL. The atmosphere at the team is not good at all, players having low morale and pressure being put on them and on the coach. They will need a victory today to change the club's spirit but that might not be easy to achieve.
Petrolul comes into this encounter with high confidence after beating the last season's champions with 2:1 after they were down to 0:1 at half time. Of course, the champions have received two red cards and that was a big blow but I wasn't disappointed by Petrolul's approach to the game for a newly promoted team. Of course, they play away now and they might not play same as they played at home but considering current situation and morale of the two clubs I'll try with the surprise here.
Vaslui's coach is worried as this game might decide his future at the club and I clearly understand that considering he won't be able to use 4 of the most important players in the defense for today. Taking into consideration the low morale at the club, the thought on Wednesday's second leg against Twente, the absences in the defense and the high confidence Petrolul has after a win against champions as a Liga I debut I'll try and catch good odds on Petrolul to score a goal today.
Selection: Petrolul to score @ 1,85
U Cluj : Rapid Bucharest
This is a game between two teams which come with victories after first round and both could have good morale. U Cluj is hoping to have a full stadium to support them and they will definitely need that as the game against Rapid won't be an easy one. I have watched U Cluj's game against the newly promoted CS Mioveni and I wasn't so impressed by it. They won by a 1:0 margin and their second half was very disappointing CS having chances of equalizing. For today's game U Cluj gonna be missing the only scorer of last game, Machado who is nursing an injury.
Rapid is coming into this encounter after a good win over Vaslui (3:0) and they are flying high on confidence wanting to grab all three points today. They had 5 new players for last game in the starting eleven and they adapted well to the team. Another advantage for Rapid could be that U Cluj is still not playing on their home stadium as Cluj-Arena is still under construction so the fan support will be much more limited.
Considering the games they played last round I favor Rapid here and I think they will win easily as they did also last season winning both legs against U Cluj. There are lots of value odds and I find many of them very plausible.
Selection: Draw or Away Win @ 1,40
Selection: Away Win @ 2,45
Selection: Away Win HT/FT @ 4,40
Selection: Away Win EH -1 @ 5,80
If the teams above play the same way they played first round there shouldn't be any surprise here. I'll take today high odds on next double:
U Cluj : Rapid Bucharest - Draw or Away
FCM Targu-Mures : CFR Cluj - Draw or Away
Total odds: 1,82
Good luck everyone and lots of money!...see more

Petrolul didn't score but didn't lose either.
Rapid big disappointment :( Two early lucky goals for U Cluj and game had a different outcome. First an own goal and second a lucky shoot from the distance which hit top corner of the goal :/...see more
