The hosts have a negative goal difference (-3) at home and have not kept a single clean sheet in domestic matches, while the visitors boast a 70% clean sheet rate on the road and a positive goal difference (+3).

The difference in quality and form strongly favors the visitors, although Botoșani's diminished form in recent matches could allow the hosts to hold on for a draw for part of the game.
