Unprecedented situation, with major changes in the Super League, in a ranking made up only on the basis of the results of the 8 rounds from the return of the regular season, compared to the general situation, after 23 stages.
GSP.ro made a situation of the 8 stages of the return leg, comparing these results with the current ranking of the Superliga. Thus, in this hierarchy, the most impressive jumps would be recorded by U Cluj and CFR Cluj, who finished the championship round in 11th and 13th places, respectively.
The people of Cluj, the leaders of the return
Both increased the pace in the second part of the regular season and collected 19 points each. And in this return hierarchy they would share the top two positions, separated only by goal difference.
This forcing also left traces in the current situation: the formation led by Cristiano Bergodi is in 7th place, with 36 points, tied with Oțelul, the last in the play-off zone, and Daniel Pancu's students climbed up to 9th, after another victory, the one against the rivals from FCSB (4-1), obtained away, at the National Arena.
FC Argeș, Rapid, out of the play-off, Botoșani in free fall
The surprises continue in this return hierarchy. The leader, the University of Craiova, would only be in 3rd place, with 17 points. And Dinamo, with the same score, would drop only one position compared to the current ranking, i.e. 4th.
Next would be UTA (16 points) and Oțelul (14), which is in the same place, 6, in both rankings. FC Argeș would be 7th (4th in the hierarchy today), and Rapid 8th (4th), both with 13 points in the last 8 stages.
FC Botoşani has the steepest fall. The formation prepared by Leo Grozavu finished the tour in first place in the Superliga, it is 5th overall, but in the return leg it would be exactly 11th.
FCSB has a slight jump, it would be 9th after the return results (11th in total), and Farul would be 10th, just like in the overall ranking. On the last position would be Unirea Slobozia, with only 3 points in the second part of the season, Andrei Prepelita's team being in 12th place in the general ranking.
