Former international Ilie Dumitrescu (56 years old) analyzed the fight for qualifying in the superligation play-off and is convinced that he knows the names of five teams from six who will be there. It excluded from the beginning at least two bands that currently occupy such a place.
It is a competitive break in Romania, which is why calculations are made in relation to the qualification in the play-off. FC Botoșani is the leader-surprise after 12 stages, with 25 points, equal to fast.
The podium is completed by Craiova University (24 points), while Dinamo (23 points), FC Argeș (22 points) and Unirea Slobozia (18 points) completes Top 6.
Surprise! The five teams that Ilie Dumitrescu sees for sure in the play-off: “We have that”
In his vision Ilie Dumitrescuthe leader of FC Botosani will fight with FC Argeș and maybe Steel Galati for the last play-off!
Despite the solid course, the best goal, the former international does not see Moldovans with real qualification chances in the play-off. He believes that FCSB and CFR Cluj will recover and “penetrate” in the first 6.
“I keep my opinion that it will be very difficult for Botosani to stay in the play-off, even after 12 stages. It should have continuity. It's a sensational course, but I think Grozavu is aware that it will be hard to keep the team in the first six.
We have this: Rapid, Craiova and Dinamo, who will stay there. And you have FCSB and CFR. So maybe for a single position it will be a fight, between Botosani, FC Argeș, maybe steel. So it's hard for everything.
CFR and FCSB will be in the play-off! Dinamo, Craiova and Rapid will be in the play-off. Yes? So five teams! One more is, ”said Ilie Dumitrescu, for digisport.ro.
