The curtain has been drawn on the 20th stage of the Superliga. Rapid lost to Steelbut remains the leader with 39 points, Dinamo climbed 2 after the success with Metaloglobustied on points with Botoșani, with 38 each, and the University of Craiova remains on 4th, with 37, after the victory in Sibiu. Former international Basarab Panduru (55) analyzed the title fight, one in which he sees a definite favourite.
This is Craiova University, a team that was in the first position for a long time at the start of the season, but started to lose points after qualifying in the main group of the Conference League.
Craiova, the main favorite for the title in the view of Basarab Panduru » Zotta is betting on a rival
Panduru he believes that Olten have the best game in the Superliga, and this has not changed after the departure of Mirel Rădoi and the arrival of Filip Coelho.
Although it is in the first place, Rapidul does not convince the former offensive midfielder, who claims that Giulești still needs reinforcements for the title.
“I still think Craiova is the most dangerous, even if it is on the 4th, we are talking today, on winning the championship. I don't know why, how they play, in the first 11, the team, the reserves, everything. For now, it seems to me that Filipe Coelho has integrated very well, you say that he has been there since the beginning of the championship.
Ok, the team was already very well with Rădoi, very well set up physically. Everything you want. But he also came up with something. Rapid must bring in players, everyone is surprised that Galaţi beat them, I don't, Rapid doesn't have a top player, I don't think it does!”, said Panduru, at Prima Sport.
Present in the studio, former referee Constantin Zotta had a different opinion. He believes that FCSB has the best chance for the title, provided they are in the play-offs, then Rapidul.
“It seems to me that FCSB is dangerous if it enters the play-offs, because it will focus only on the championship. But also Rapidul…”, added Zotta.
