Stadionul Ilie Oană in Ploiești hosts a Monday Romanian Liga I Championship Round fixture between Petrolul Ploiești and Oțelul Galați. Petrolul, the oil workers' club from Ploiești in the Prahova Valley, and Oțelul, the steelworkers' club from Galați on the Danube, meet in a fixture that carries the working-class industrial identity of two of Romanian football's most historically significant provincial clubs.
Predictions & Tips
Form Guide
Petrolul
WDLDD
Petrolul, the Lupii Galbeni (Yellow Wolves), have been in interesting form with only a lone victory in five games but just one loss as well. At the Ilie Oană, a well-maintained ground in the oil city, they carry the passionate backing of a club whose two Romanian championships (1958, 1959) and Cup triumphs belong to a golden era the Ploiești faithful celebrate with unbridled nostalgia. Their recent form gives them the confidence to approach Monday's Championship Round encounter as competitive hosts.
Otelul
LWDDW
Oțelul, the steelworkers from Galați, carry the history of the 2011 Romanian champions who produced Gheorghe Hagi's managerial debut. Two wins in four outings reflects a squad that is competitive without the sustained form needed to push for higher positions in the Championship Round. Away at Petrolul's Ploiești ground, they carry a squad that alternates between competitive performance and disappointing result.
Prediction
Petrolul's home advantage at the Ilie Oană gives them the edge as moderate favourites over Oțelul.
What are the best odds for the game?
Petrolul are given 1.58 odds to win at home, while Oțelul are pegged at 4.76 for the away win. A draw is factored at 3.65 odds.
