Craiova’s five‑match winning streak with zero goals conceded contrasts sharply with Getafe’s mixed results and missing players. Even if Getafe manage to stay in the game, Craiova’s attack is likely to break through, making a home win or at least a draw the most probable outcome. The combined goal tally from both sides points to more than 2.5 goals, supporting an OVER 2.5 call.

Match preview
Universitatea Craiova arrive on a perfect five‑game winning run, scoring 15 goals while keeping a clean sheet in every match. Their recent form shows both offensive potency and defensive solidity.\n\nGetafe have struggled for consistency, recording one win, two draws and two losses in their last five, and have conceded in three of those games. Injuries to Juanmi and C. Uche further weaken their squad ahead of the tie.\n\nThe fixture is a single‑leg cup encounter, so there is no league‑position pressure, but Craiova’s momentum and Getafe’s recent dip suggest Craiova are the clear favorites.
