- Farul are winless in their last five games in all competitions (L-L-D-D-L).
- Chindia have dominated the H2H record between these two sides since 2012, winning seven of the last ten meetings.
- Farul at 1.39 is short considering Chindia are 8.2 to win on Sunday.
Farul will not fold in this playoff
Our FC Farul Constanta vs Chindia Targoviste prediction is that Farul's long run in the SuperLiga is under threat after a disappointing season in which they picked up just 25 points from their last nine games in the play-out for survival.
A 3-3 draw in the first leg of this Liga I promotion/relegation playoff, against a Chindia Targoviste side that finished sixth in Liga II, does not bode well for the hosts’ chances of securing their place in the top flight for 2026-27.
The FC Farul Constanta vs Chindia Targoviste preview highlights that the winner of this two-leg tie will pocket a huge reward both financially and in terms of sporting prestige, but both clubs will face a significant step up next season in terms of the quality and size of their opponents.
Flavius Stoican’s men need to find a way of keeping the ball and pushing their wing-backs high up the pitch so that Alexandru Ișfan can play in his favoured central role, where his pace and creativity can be deadly.
But Farul have been more defensive since Stoican arrived and have seen their status as a possession team disappear, as they have been forced to play a more pragmatic style for results.
Stoican’s team will need to be solid at the back on Sunday, however, to give themselves a chance of forcing their way into the final third. Our FC Farul Constanta vs Chindia Targoviste prediction is that Rafael Munteanu will be on edge after a costly error in the first leg, but he will need to be at his best to stop Chindia’s counter-attacking players.
Daniel Florea is the spearhead of Chindia’s attack, scoring in the opening leg to take his season’s tally to around ten goals.
But Ivan Pešić is also a threat from a similar role on the opposite flank, while Doru Popadiuc, who opened the scoring in the 3-3 draw, is a dangerous outlet on the right.
Nicolae Croitoru’s men have the ability to punish mistakes like Farul made in the first leg and the coach is capable of tactical adjustments that could catch Farul out.
Chindia have won two, lost two and drawn one of their last five matches, and played a high-scoring 3-3 draw in the promotion playoff first leg.
But they are more likely to be happy with one goal and might just get it if they attack in the second half when they need to take the lead to stay in the match.
Jovan Marković came on to score the 88th minute equalizer for Farul in the first leg and will be a good option off the bench again on Sunday.
Denis Alibec is the talisman for Farul, scoring in the playoff first-leg and leading the line, but also providing the leadership they will all need to stay in the Romanian top flight.
This FC Farul Constanta vs Chindia Targoviste betting tips match is a game of chess that could be decided by moments of individual quality - or error - and we are going to edge towards a home win, but perhaps a narrow 1-0 or 2-1 result rather than the goal-packed game that the hosts would like. The FC Farul Constanta vs Chindia Targoviste prediction odds of 1.66 on BTTS - No looks a little bit generous as both coaches will be looking to lock down their defences and keep things tight, but we know Chindia score away from home and the away side will have to go for it at some point to avoid defeat.
