Petrolul Ploiesti vs CS Afumati: Match Preview

Petrolul Ploiesti come into this friendly with a mixed recent record, posting a 2-2-1 run in their last five matches and struggling to turn home advantage into wins (0W 2D at home this season). Their attack has been steady, averaging 1.8 goals per game over the last five, but defensive frailties persist, with only two clean sheets in that span and a season-long clean sheet rate of just 11%. Afumati, meanwhile, are riding a strong run in Liga II, unbeaten in their last five (3W 2D) and boasting a perfect away record in the league so far (2W, 9 GF, 1 GA).

The statistical matchup points to a high-scoring encounter. Afumati's season average of 4.67 goals scored per game is exceptional, and they've hit over 2.5 goals in every match this season. Petrolul's matches also trend high, with a 66.7% over 2.5 goals rate and 1.78 goals scored per game. Both sides have shown a tendency to concede—Afumati have kept just one clean sheet in their last five, and Petrolul only two—while both have also scored in nearly every recent outing. First-half goals are common, with 7 combined across their last five games each.

Given these rates, the model expects an open game with multiple goals, both teams on the scoresheet, but Afumati's superior attacking numbers and away form making them favourites. The likeliest outcome is a 2-1 win for the visitors, with the main risk being overestimation of Afumati's level due to their small sample size and step up in opposition.

Final Verdict

Petrolul Ploiesti 1–2 CS Afumati
