Romanian League
2012-10-27 - Ceahlaul vs Dinamo Bucuresti
A Sports Betting Pick by ROzsolt
Football : Romania: Liga 1
Venue: "Ceahlaul" - Piatra Neamt
Saturday 27th October – Kickoff time: 21:30 GMT+2
Ceahlaul Piatra Neamt (13th W4 D2 L6)
Ceahlaul made the most of their home games, but holds a disastrous 0-1-5 away record which drags them down a lot, sitting on a disappointing 13th position at the moment.
Only newly promoted Viitorul Constanta managed to collect all points from their trip to Piatra Neamt in a surprising 0-3 victory, but Brasov, Astra or Gaz Metan all left Piatra Neamt empty handed.
Ceahlaul’s playing style is not enjoyable to watch, they are a rather rudimentary side, but they find a way to use the home advantage in their favor and collected 13 points from six games.
Charismatic coach Costel Enache has been sent off in their previous home game, so he’ll not be able to sit on the bench in this match.
Dinamo Bucuresti (5th W6 D3 L3)
Dinamo doesn’t seem able to find consistency in their results, after losing their home game to struggling Gloria Bistrita (16th), they found the strength to beat rivals Rapid Bucuresti earlier this week.
Considering the fact that they sometimes show some poor performances, Dinamo sits on a decent 5th position, with 21 points to their name after 12 games.
Winger Marius Alexe who was considered one of Dinamo’s best export “products” (but failed to confirm lately) scored both Dinamo’s goals against Rapid reaching 4 goals this season, so all eyes will be on him at this game.
Striker Ionel Danciulescu has been ruled out for this match, but the 35 year old striker will probably return next week to feature in his 28th Dinamo v Steaua derby, an all time record.
The Betting Verdict
You never know what to expect when backing Dinamo, they can lose to absolutely any team from Liga 1, home or away, but it’s also true that they can beat anyone on a good day.
What caught my attention is the Dinamo’s head to head record against Ceahlaul, they haven’t lost in Piatra Neamt since 2003. On their last three trips to Piatra Neamt, the team from Bucharest recorded the following results: 0-5 in 2011, 0-4 in 2009 and 0-3 in 2008.
There’ve always been rumors of unorthodox ties between the owners of the two clubs, that Ceahlaul’s owner has been willingly given away games when playing against Dinamo, but that hasn’t been proved.
Dinamo has a better squad, they wouldn’t need outside help to obtain the victory in my opinion. Let’s take Dinamo to continue they winning tradition in Piatra Neamt even though the prices are a little short.
