Steaua Bucharest will host CSU Craiova on Sunday in Romania, Liga 1.
Steaua are the champions of Romania, for 3 years in a row. This year they have been living a crisis. They failed to qualify for the UCL group stages (eliminated by Partizan) and for the EL group stages (eliminated by Rosenborg). They are struggling to catch the playoff places, and have parted ways with their coach. It must be said that their coach was the main reason for the bad results. He had zero experience.
Now they signed the old coach, Reghecampf, who in 2 years with them has won 2 titles, played in the UCL group stages (without notable results) and in the Europa League (with notable results), eliminating Ajax and winning Chelsea 1-0 at home (Chelsea eventually won the Europa League that year). He is a good coach, a good motivator, and most importantly, the players at Steaua love him. Some of them even became friends with him, off the field.

CSU Craiova is in crisis. It’s easy to explain why. Remember Craiova had a long 12 match unbeaten streak last year. Last year they had 2 coaches, an older one and a younger one. The older one was the better of the two, Sorin Cartu. He was experienced, a tough guy, a demanding coach. The other one, Sandoi, is “soft”. He is a bad coach and you can see it in the results. This season, after a couple of rounds, the older one left after a conflict with the general manager. Since then, results were very bad.
It must be said that Craiova has a young team, a really young team, and that they will be no match for Steaua. I expect a big emulation, a lot of people coming to the stadium, hoping for a new look for this Steaua side, and a comfortable win for the champions. They play their matches in Pitesti, which is theoretically bad news, but they are used to not having their own stadium and more people come to cheer for them in Pitesti than in Bucharest.
Good Luck! My tip is a Steaua win with a -0.75 goal asian handicap. I think the odds may drop.
