In the second leg of the 1/2 final of the Romanian Cup, Dinamo Bucharest will host Astra. Will the hosts be able to make a comeback?
Dinamo Bucharest
"Dynamo" quite confidently reached the stage of the 1/2 final, winning three victories with a total score of 7-1. In the first match, "Viitorul" was defeated (3-0), in the second, we managed to beat "Steaua" (1-0), and in the third, in the 1/4 final, "Calarasi" was defeated (3-1). In the first semi-final match, the club from Bucharest failed to score an important away goal, losing with a score of 0-1.
"Astra"
"Astra" also started from the stage of the 1/16 finals, and each time played away. But this did not prevent her from reaching the semifinals, and quite confidently. First, "Ripencia Timisora" was defeated (5-1), then it was possible to cope with "ASU Poli Timisoara" (2-1), and in 1/4 "Petrolul" was passed (3-0). In the first match, "Astra" achieved a minimal victory, keeping its goal intact, so every goal scored in the upcoming meeting will be counted as 1.5.
Statistics and figures:
- Dynamo lost the first leg 0-1;
- "Astra" from four matches in the current draw of the Romanian Cup only once played at home;
- "Astra" won against "Dynamo" on its field only in one match from the last six.
Forecast
"Dynamo" has no choice but to go on the attack with great strength and score. "Astra" will be able to act on counterattacks and, as it seems to me, will implement one of them.
