Universitatea Craiova vs FC Voluntari preview suggests that Universitatea Craiova should be far too good for FC Voluntari in Sunday's Liga I fixture at Stadionul Ion Oblemenco and the odds favor the hosts in this one.
Filipe Coelho's men have been in decent form so far in Liga I 2026/2027, starting with a 2-1 home win over KuPS Palloseura in UEFA Europa League Qualification 2026 before a 1-1 away draw with Otelul Galati.
Coelho has done a great job at the club since he took over on 11 November 2025 and has a flexible 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 playing system that allows Craiova to be patient in possession, control games and press the opposition when they lose the ball.
Steven Nsimba leads the team's scoring in Liga I 2026/2027 with 3 goals from 4 appearances and he can combine well with the creative Carlos Mora, who has delivered 4 assists in 4 games.
Christian Florin Pirvu has made a solid job of keeping Voluntari competitive since he arrived at the helm on 25 April 2025, but they have been in mixed form recently, losing their last 2 fixtures 4-0 to Dinamo Bucuresti and 1-2 to Petrolul Ploiesti.
Voluntari are a compact, direct team that can be dangerous on the counter, but they are not the best team in the league for finding the net, with George Merloi their top scorer in Liga I 2026/2027 with just 1 goal in 5 appearances.
Voluntari have scored 0 goals away from home in 2026/2027, while Craiova have hit 8 in 3 games in their own backyard, so the hosts have plenty of bite in the attacking third.
The head-to-head is very tight over the last 3 meetings between these two sides (1 win for Craiova, 1 win for Voluntari and 1 draw), but the home team should win here.
Craiova are on a 2-game unbeaten streak and Voluntari are on a 2-game losing streak, so there is a clear trend in the teams' recent performances and the home side should have the upper hand.
Craiova last beat Voluntari 2-1 in Liga I 2023/2024 and the visitors have not won their last away game at this venue.
Craiova will dominate possession and play vertical football and will test Voluntari's low block, while the visitors will attempt to slow the game down and nick it in transition.
Universitatea Craiova vs FC Voluntari prediction points to BTTS No at 1.7 as a solid bet for this Liga I fixture at Stadionul Ion Oblemenco, as Craiova should control the game and Voluntari are struggling to find the net.
