Chindia – Farul, the first leg of the promotion/maintenance bracket of the Superliga, is played NOW, at the “Eugen Popescu” arena. The match started at 17:30, it is liveTEXT on GSP.ro and will be broadcast by Prima Sport 1 and Digi Sport 1.
After 8 defeats in a row in the play-offs, Chindia took advantage of the fact that FC Bihor did not receive the first league license and caught the barrier, showing signs of recovery in the last rounds, when they beat Corvinul (1-0) and drew with Sepsi (1-1), the directly promoted teams. And Farul comes after a big disappointment, the defeat with Metaloglobus (0-1), already relegated.
In the 2022/2023 season, Chindia was relegated, and Farul won the title. Then, the two direct matches ended in a draw, 0-0 in Ovidiu, 1-1 in Târgoviște. The authors of the goals, Pitu and Neguț respectively, are no longer with the two formations.
