Astra Ploiesti – FC Brasov 17.05.2012

Astra is heading towards a new era since for some rounds they ahve a new coach and a new president and since next year they will move to another town it is expected that this team will finally fight for EL places.

After winning last round against Ceahlaul, Astra not only managed to stop a poor run of 4 consecutive defeats but they also achieved mathematically salvation so there is nothing at stake in this game, maybe a better clasification in standings and more money from TV rights, but that’s something small.Anyway, Astra looked very pragmatic and efficient with Ceahlaul and players need to prove they deserve to remain at Astra also next season since there will be a lot of changing during summer.Creative midfielder Spadacio looked hot with Ceahlaul.

Brasov is also saved but their away form is kind of poor.I remember struggling them big time in their latest away display at Mioveni, barely winning 1-0 with a late goal after not managing to create decent chance of scoring for whole game.Brasov will also miss Distefano, important attacking player for injury.Brasov was really poor in their latest travels, at CFR, at Ceahlaul they were dominated and didnt managed to score, not creating pretty much nothing.Historically, they tend to struggle also at Astra so i’m expecting this poor away form of Brasov to continue and Astra to close the season in style with a home victory, probably their last game at Ploiesti.
