Chiajna – CSMS Iasi

Chiajna Iasi betting preview

Concordia Chiajna will face CSMS Poli Iasi in what is expected to be a boring clash between two relegation candidates in the Romanian Liga 1.

Chiajna saved themselves from relegation at the last moment last season, something which wasn`t new for them. Perennial relegation battlers, the hosts are expected to be in a similar situation this year, as not much has changed in the team. Chiajna has 1 point in the first two Liga 1 rounds, scoring 1 goal and allowing two. On the bright side, they sacked the manager after the first round and brought in a slightly better one in his place – the impact was visible in their second match, when they drew 1-1 at Craiova, a Top 5 team.

CSMS Iasi finished 7th last season in Romania, winning the playout competition, but the team seems to be much weaker this season. Iasi lost a couple of key players, along with their manager, and the start of the season confirms the expectations of them being weaker. Iasi failed to score a goal in the first two rounds, losing 2-0 at Craiova and barely recording a 0-0 draw at home against fellow relegation candidates Gaz Metan Medias.

Team news: Chiajna will miss left back Barboianu, while Iasi will miss right back Mihalache.

Chiajna and Iasi have been two of the most defensive minded teams in Liga 1 last season. Chiajna scored less than 1 goal per game in average (0.77 goals / game to be exact), while Iasi scored an average of 1.1 goals / game. Iasi also had the THIRD best defense in Romania, which was really impressive for a midtable team. All these are pretty telling statistics and clearly suggest a bet against goals in this encounter.

The DNA of the two sides remains the same this season, they play the same way, and this could be seen from their 4 combined matches so far – neither of them seeing more than 2 goals.

Iasi actually seems to have lost most of its already limited offensive strength after they changed the manager and lost one of their two main strikers, as they were barely able to create anything up front in the first two rounds.

With both teams starting poorly and needing points, and with this being a direct battle between two relegation rivals, there are all the circumstances in the world to expect a low scoring game here. Nobody can afford to lose this game, so the two teams should be even more cautious than usual.

Obviously anything can happen in a football game, but look for a low tempo and an incredibly boring game here. As long as it won`t be one of those strange nights, this should comfortably end with under 2,5 goals – so that will be my tip. Prediction: Concordia Chiajna – CSMS Iasi 0-0.

Pick: under 2,5 goals
