Pandurii will host Steaua in the 4th round of the playoffs of Romania Liga 1. The playoff has 10 rounds, 3 were played. At the moment, Astra is #1, Pandurii and Steaua are tied on #2, with 29 pts each, 3 points behind Astra. Dinamo is close behind with 27 points.
Pandurii Targu Jiu plays quality football and has some interesting players, Radut, Nistor, Hora, Sapunaru (last two are NT players). They play good football, and deserve their place in the standings. The problem is that they played worse after the announcement that they will not be funded anymore (so they will have to find another source of funding). They are already unpaid for 3 months and the coach said the atmosphere is very bad. Also, the coach will be suspended, so he will not be able to coordinate the team personally during the game and at HT. Pandurii has no important missings.

Steaua comes into this game after some not so great performances. The problem with Steaua was the hype. After the new coach came, Reghecampf (who was also manager a few years ago with great results), everybody expected them to destroy every opponent, but that did not happen. I think that the reason for this was the arrogance of some players, and the fact that some of them are not in tip-top shape, like Pintilii, Chipciu, Bourceanu, Marica, Gebhardt, players that Reghecampf tried to use. Most of them were signed in the Winter after not playing for a long time.
Now the situation is more clear, the first eleven is well defined, and Steaua plays better. They seem to have better fitness. Results have improved and Steaua has 3 wins in a row, two of them against league leaders Astra.
I expect a win for Steaua Bucharest, but to be more on the safe side I will take the -0.25 asian handicap line here. Good luck!
