CS U Craiova – Getafe CF Preview – Who comes out on top in Craiova?
Our CS U Craiova vs Getafe CF betting tips start with a game that looks tight, cautious and short of goals. Craiova host Getafe in the Conference League league phase at the Ion Oblemenco on 15 October at 16:45 GMT, and the sides look evenly matched.
The mood in each camp is very different. A match preview credits the Romanians with a long winning run and clean sheets in their last four matches. Getafe, back in European competition proper after a six-year absence, come off a 3-0 defeat at Barcelona on Saturday, where Bordalás’s side were behind inside two minutes and never recovered.
There are gaps on both sides. Craiova are without the suspended Carlos Mora, and Monday Etim and Adrian Rus are injured. That costs them options, but Getafe have the bigger problem: Zaid Romero went off before half-time at Barcelona with a muscular problem and is reported to be missing this trip. Losing a defender before a European away day against a side on a roll is not ideal.
CS U Craiova – Getafe CF Betting Tips
Betting Tip: Under 2.5 goals
Getafe play a physical, compact game and Craiova have been keeping clean sheets. Put those together and a low-scoring night is the natural outcome. A preview credits the hosts with clean sheets in their last four, and Getafe are a side who rarely turn a game into a shoot-out. Expect few clear chances and long spells of midfield scrapping.
Betting Tip: CS U Craiova draw no bet
With Romero reportedly out, Getafe’s back line has to change shape in an away game, and the hosts have the form, the crowd and a scorer in rhythm. Craiova are not the stronger team on paper, but home advantage and the defensive disruption tilt this slightly their way. Draw no bet protects you if Bordalás grinds out a stalemate, which is a real possibility.
Once you are happy with the picks, check the latest match odds on the sportsbook before kick-off and place your bets there.
What to expect from a Bordalás side on the road
Getafe under Bordalás are hard to play against. They compete for everything, slow the game down and make their opponents earn each chance. Craiova’s recent solidity suggests this will be a scrappy contest decided by one moment, perhaps from Simon Elisor, who is credited with four goals in his last three club matches. Neither side has much reason to open up early in a league-phase match, and Craiova have a league game against Farul Constanta two days later, while Getafe host Rayo Vallecano four days after that.
