Preview

Match preview

Universitatea Craiova enter round 12 of Liga I in third place with 23 points, seeking to maintain their chase at the top of the Championship Group positions. The hosts have established formidable form on their own ground, taking 15 points from a possible 18 with five victories and just one defeat, while scoring 20 goals and allowing only two.

Farul Constanta travel sitting sixth in the table on 17 points, aiming to solidify their place in the upper bracket. However, their away form has been a persistent vulnerability throughout the campaign, as they remain without a road victory across six attempts, recording four draws and two defeats while being outscored ten to five away from home.

With Universitatea Craiova pairing an average of 3.3 home goals per match with four clean sheets in six home outings, Farul face a demanding tactical assignment. The visitors have found the net only five times on the road and will need to withstand relentless pressure from Craiova's productive attacking line.
