Zimbru vs Politehnica UTM prediction

League leaders Zimbru welcome fourth-placed Politehnica UTM to Chișinău in round 12 of the Super Liga. Zimbru enter the fixture at the summit of the table with 23 points from 11 matches, holding a one-point cushion over Sheriff Tiraspol. They are in fine form, having recorded four consecutive league victories while averaging 2.3 goals scored per match across the campaign.

Politehnica UTM occupy fourth spot with 15 points, having registered four wins, three draws, and four defeats. While they managed a 2-1 home victory over Dacia-Buiucani in their last outing, their defensive record on the road has been fragile. Politehnica UTM have conceded 12 goals in five away fixtures, averaging 2.4 goals conceded per trip without keeping a single clean sheet away from home.

Historical meetings between these sides heavily favour Zimbru, who have won all six previous head-to-head encounters across all competitions. With Zimbru scoring 25 goals in 11 league matches and Politehnica UTM struggling defensively outside their home ground, the hosts hold substantial advantages across form, league standing, and head-to-head history.
