CS U Craiova vs Voluntari: match statistics

CS U Craiova have a clear home advantage: they have won 2 of their 3 home matches, scoring an average of 2.67 goals and conceding just 0.33. The hosts create plenty of high-quality chances, as reflected by an average of 22.33 shots, 6.33 shots on target and an xG of 2.37, while their xGA stands at just 0.89. Voluntari have lost both away matches, failing to score in either and allowing opponents an average of 4.5 goals per game. Away from home, the visitors manage just 7 shots and 1.5 shots on target, with an xG of 0.72 compared to an xGA as high as 2.45. Current form also favors Craiova, who have scored 8 goals in their last five matches and lost just once, while Voluntari have conceded 13 goals during that period.

The strongest argument for BTTS - No is not Voluntari’s very poor finishing: the away side has yet to score in away matches, records a 0% shot conversion rate, and averages just 1.5 shots on target per game. Their attacking potential also remains low in the underlying data, with average away xG standing at 0.72, while the team has averaged 0.8 goals scored across its last five matches. Craiova have conceded just 0.8 goals per game over their last five appearances, with opponents averaging 0.93 xG, further limiting the visitors’ chances of scoring. The hosts should create chances against a Voluntari defense that concedes an average of 4.5 goals away from home and allows 2.45 xG, but a Craiova win to nil is more likely than both teams scoring. Although Craiova have recorded BTTS in 67% of their season matches, Voluntari’s 100% of away matches without scoring is a clearly stronger signal in favor of BTTS - No.

CS U Craiova creates chances worth an average of 1.60 xG at home and registers 15.0 shots per match, while Voluntari concedes as many as 4.50 goals and 2.45 xG away from home. The visitors are yet to score in this fixture profile, and their average of 0.72 xG and just 1.5 shots on target indicate that the hosts should be the main source of goals. In their last five matches, Craiova averaged 1.6 goals scored, while Voluntari conceded 2.6, reinforcing the prediction of at least two goals. The Over 1.5 goals line has been covered in 67% of the hosts' matches and in all of Voluntari's away matches so far, making it the strongest pick.

CS U Craiova have a clear quality advantage: they average 1.60 xG compared with Voluntari’s 0.72, while also recording 15.0 shots and 4.67 shots on target per match, versus 7.0 and 1.5 for the visitors. Voluntari have lost 100% of their away matches so far, have failed to score in any of them and have conceded an average of 4.50 goals, which is why scenarios involving a home win dominate the forecast. In the first halves, the visitors were trailing in 2 out of 2 matches, averaging 0.0 goals scored and 2.0 conceded, while Craiova were leading at the break in 40% of their last five appearances. The hosts are also in better current form, averaging 1.6 goals scored and 0.8 conceded over their last five matches, while Voluntari conceded 2.6 goals per game. The most likely outcome is therefore for Craiova to lead at the break and maintain their winning advantage through to full time.
