FC Botosani are having a rough time right now — they haven't won any of their last five matches, and a couple of those were heavy losses. Petrolul Ploiesti, on the other hand, are in much better shape, with three wins in their last five, even though they slipped up in their most recent game.

When these two have met recently, the games have often been tight and low-scoring, with several ending in draws or one-goal margins. Given Petrolul's better form and Botosani's struggles, Petrolul look the stronger side here and are the more likely winners, though a draw wouldn't be a big surprise given how close these meetings usually are.
