In their last face-off, neither side could break the deadlock, ending in a 2-2 draw. FC Botosani continues their strong form, having bested Unirea Alba Iulia and Csikszereda, having maintained an unbeaten streak stretching to four matches.

Following a three-game winning streak against Petrolul 52, Istanbul Basaksehir and Csikszereda, Universitatea Craiova head into this match looking to build on their success as well. Though notably, their backline has lacked consistency, having conceded goals in each of their last nine away matches.
