What we said beforehand

Corvinul host FC Voluntari at home in the Superliga on 9 October 2026. Corvinul sit seventh out of sixteen with 13 points from ten games and a modest +2 goal difference. They are just one point ahead of FCV Farul Constanța and one point above CFR Cluj, both of whom sit on either side of them. Voluntari are down in 15th place, also in the relegation zone, with eight points and a –13 goal difference. Oțelul Galați sit one spot above Voluntari, two points clear, while Csikszereda Miercurea Ciuc sit below them, seven points back. Both clubs are fighting to stay out of the drop zone, so the three points are very important for each side.

Corvinul’s recent run of eight games has been mixed. They beat Oțelul 3-2 away, then lost 1-0 to Universitatea Craiova at home and 2-0 to Petrolul away. A 1-1 draw with Dinamo București at home was followed by a 0-0 stalemate away at UTA Arad. Their last result was a 3-0 victory over CFR Cluj at home. In those eight matches they have scored eight goals and let in seven. They kept three clean sheets but failed to find the net in four games. At home in the last four fixtures they have one win, two draws and one loss.

Voluntari have struggled badly in their last eight outings. Their most recent game was a 2-0 loss to Universitatea Cluj at home. Before that they fell 2-1 to Rapid București away, then lost another 2-1 to the same side away, beat FC Argeș 1-0 at home and drew 2-2 with Oțelul at home. Their run began with a 3-1 defeat away at Universitatea Craiova. Overall they have managed seven goals while conceding 17. They have kept only one clean sheet and have been shut out twice. On the road they have lost all four of their recent matches, and they arrive on a run of three straight defeats.

We pick Corvinul to win. The numbers suggest Corvinul will score about two goals while Voluntari are likely to score less than one. The chance of Corvinul scoring at all is high at 80 %, and they have a decent chance of scoring twice or more. Voluntari’s chance to score is just over half, and they rarely find the net twice. The price of 1.71 matches our view of the game. For our pick to fail, Corvinul would need to be shut out and Voluntari would have to score at least once, which seems unlikely given their recent form.
