The end of the regular season in the Super League promises to be really explosive, and emotions are at their highest for several teams from here.
At this moment, three teams are already sure of their presence in the play-off: Universitatea Craiova, Dinamo Bucharest and Rapid.
Four teams fight for three places
Instead, the fight for the last three places leading into the play-offs is proving to be a true madness.
U Cluj, CFR Cluj, FC Argeș and FCSB are fighting side by side to grab the places that would allow them to enter the fight for the title. Every point counts, every match is decisive, and ranking calculations become almost a real lottery.
What the ranking would look like with the results from the tour
Even more spectacular is the hypothetical scenario if the results from the tour of stages 14 and 15 were kept, now put “in the mirror”! It would be a major surprise: CFR Cluj would miss the play-off, and FCSB would enter the battle with 49 points, thus surpassing the 47 of Transylvania.
- University of Craiova 58p
- Dynamo 56p
- Fast 56p
- U Cluj 51p
- FC Arges 50p
- FCSB 49p
- CFR Cluj 47p
- FC Botosani 46p
- UTA Arad 45p
- Steel 44p
Anyway, the last stages turn into a real thriller until the last stage, with emotions, surprises and the possibility that history will be rewritten right before our eyes.
As the standings look now, I can't say that FCSB will make it to the play-offs. And that would be a shame. If FCSB does not make the play-offs, all clubs have to lose. FCSB brings people to the stadium, we have to admit. It will be a hole in the budget of all teams. There are two more stages and there are mathematical chances for several formations. You can't tell what the playoffs will look like.
