The steel Galati and lighthouse Constanța meet NOW, in the eighth stage of the play-out, in a crucial match for the guests. The “sailors” are close to the barrage sites, and any misstep can be fatal. The duel is broadcast at TV on Digi Sports 1 and Prima Sport 1.
The two formations are the first above the barrier line, and this game can bring the steelers the chance to escape mathematically from the red zone of the standings.
However, Farul Constanța is not in the same situation, and the team coached by Flavius Stoican has to win, because it has only one point ahead of Petrolul, the team that occupies the last place in the bracket.
