⭐️ Editor's Prediction
Two teams who both prefer a more open style of play. Voluntari want to establish themselves in mid-table early, rather than leaving the survival fight for the spring. Botoșani aren't shy of an end-to-end game either: in 7 of their last 8 league matches, they scored and conceded. The pick here is Both Teams To Score (Yes). Predicted score: 1-1.
