What to expect

We expect about 1.2 goals from Otelul and 1.4 from Univ. Craiova, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 2.6 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Our pick: Under 2.5 goals. This has the look of a cagey, low-scoring game — around 2.6 goals in total (xG 1.2-1.4), keeping it under more often than not (about 54%). Clear chances should be at a premium.

We put the chance of that landing at about 54 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.82, which works out at about 55 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.

Univ. Craiova have won two of their last five.

One thing to watch

It only takes one early goal to change how both sides play, and a low total can unravel in a single quick spell. We make it about 54% and the price sits right on top of that, so there's little cushion if it turns.
