Botoşani Universitatea Craiova betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this clash is that the visitors manage to pick up at least one point. Botosani are playing in their best condition, where they have scored most of their goals, but they are having a poor campaign. Universitatea Craiova, on the other hand, play in their worst condition, but their attack has scored regularly nonetheless. We're expecting an open game, with the advantage going to the visitors, but with chances for both sides. Therefore, betting on Universitatea Craiova's Asian Handicap 0 (or draw cancels bet) in the match seems like a good alternative.
