FC Botosani take on Cluj in the Liga 1 of Romania on December 19, with kickoff at 18:00 UTC.
As Botosani and Cluj renew their battle, the memory of the 3-3 tie in their Liga 1 encounter from 4 months ago still lingers. Botosani head into the match on the back of two consecutive draws, with Arges and Rapid B.
Cluj, fresh off a win against Csikszereda, approach this match eager to continue their positive form. However, their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have allowed goals in four consecutive matches.
In this Liga 1 showdown, the spotlight will fall on the players who have been pivotal for FC Botosani and Cluj throughout the campaign. Botosani’s top finisher Sebastian Mailat and Hervin Ongenda have played important roles in ensuring their attack, under Leontin Florian Grozavu’s management, remains effective. Mailat has already scored eight goals in Liga 1 this season, while Ongenda has been their leading creator in the competition with five assists. Supporting them are Zoran Mitrov, Andrei Dumiter and Alexandru Cimpanu, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to Botosani’s attack.
Meanwhile, Andrei Cordea and Meriton Korenica have been pivotal for Cluj’s attack, crafted under Daniel Pancu’s leadership, combining to deliver important goals and assists. Cluj’s top scorer in Liga 1, Cordea, has eight goals this season, while Munteanu remains their top assist provider in the competition with five. Cluj have also relied on Lindon Emerllahu, Karlo Muhar and Matei Ilie to energize their attack through key shots and passes.
