Before the duel in Bănie, Craiova and FCSB are separated by 3 points in the standings: the champion is a leader, with 35 points, Rădoi's Oltenians are in 3rd place, with 32 points.

Ilie Dumitrescu's analysis before Craiova – FCSB
“It is a reliable message for the team. By the way, it depends on what goal you have proposed. It is possible that in a week, if FCSB wins, it is six points away, Craiova also left the cup, an objective that was important for the team. Six points in the play-off is huge, it's a great advantage. If you reach the situation where someone has five or six points compared to the next one.
The team looks great at home, there were good moments of play with Mirel Rădoi, very good. Consistency in the game, depending on what players he had available. It is the match in which, I would not say a test, it would prove that this team, after a very good course with Mirel Rădoi, can be beaten. Or this is their limit of expression at the top of the standings. It's a final for them, to fight for the title. A final to stay in the game.
(No. Safira will be missing) is a player who has adapted quickly, complements very well with Mitriţă, Baiaram, Houri, a player who gets very good in combinations. He will play with the other, with Lukic, has another profile, has no connection with Safira. It is in the pivot, it does not have the same efficiency in combinations as sapphire. It is a successful transfer ”, said Ilie Dumitrescu, quoted by Digisport.ro.
