Inter Club d'Escaldes vs Universitatea Craiova — Tips & Analysis

Universitatea Craiova -0.75: Escaldes' home record looks great until you see who it came against. Those home wins came against Carroi, Ranger's and Atletic Club d'Escaldes, all from the Andorran league. Against real European sides they have shown their level. They tied 0-0 at home with Drita in the qualifiers and lost 0-2 at Mjallby in the league phase. Craiova are a step up. They have won 9 and tied 6 of their last 19 games and have not lost in their last five. That run takes in a 5-0 win over FCSB and a 1-1 tie with Getafe in this competition. They let in under a goal a game, so they can keep this quiet and win it late. Escaldes do score, just over 2 goals a game, and 12 of their last 17 games had 3 or more goals. Almost all of that came in Andorra. A 0-1 Craiova win is the likely finish and that is the result we want. This is far from safe. Craiova travel poorly for a side this good, scoring under a goal a game across nine away games. Escaldes already held Drita to 0-0 at home, so a frustrating, goalless hour is very possible. We back the Romanians to find the one moment that decides it.
