Botosani welcome Sepsi OSK at Stadionul Municipal, Botosani, Botosani on Saturday, Sep 5 at 6:00 PM in a Liga 1 fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Botosani come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 4). Sepsi OSK, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (1W 2D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Despite playing at home, Botosani face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Sepsi OSK have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in Botosani won 0–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Botosani a slight edge, but Sepsi OSK are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
