**Farul's home fortress gets a visit from the league's hottest form.** Petrolul roll into Constanța riding three wins in five, while the hosts are stuck in that frustrating draw-fest mode — solid at home, but vulnerable to sharp opponents. 🔥

Farul have owned this head-to-head historically, but Petrolul's recent spark suggests they're not here to be a pushover. **D. Alibec** and **E. Radaslavescu** lead Farul's attack, but **L. Teixeira** and the visitors' dynamic midfield could cause real problems on the break.

Key storylines:

- **Petrolul's momentum** vs. **Farul's home comfort** — the visitors arrive unbeaten in three while Constanța lean on their Stadionul Central fortress
- **D. Alibec** needs service to hurt Petrolul's backline; expect **A. Flores** and **R. Martins** to disrupt supply lines
- Farul's defensive record wobbles (that 0-4 hammering to Dinamo); **L. Zima** in Petrolul's goal could be busy if the hosts press early

Expected lineups:

- **FCV Farul Constanța**: R. Munteanu, S. Bouzamoucha, G. Marins, N. Aberdin, V. Țicu, D. Sîrbu, T. Njiké, M. Ahlinvi, V. Dican, D. Alibec, E. Radaslavescu
- **FC Petrolul Ploiești**: L. Zima, A. Dumitrescu, B. Malula, P. Papp, M. Țuțu, A. Flores, R. Martins, L. Teixeira, S. Hanca, R. D. Jerdea, D. N'Lundulu

Prediction:

**1-1 draw.** Farul's form suggests they'll grab an early opener, but Petrolul's sharpness edges them back level before the break. 🤝
