Football Bet of the Day: Iasi can slow the Speedsters

CSMS Iasi v FCSB
Tuesday 18:30

It was all quiet on the eastern front yesterday. Krasnodar and Tambov played out a goalless draw that was singularly lacking in the kind of chaotic entertainment we were after. Hoping for an upturn, we're sticking behind the old Iron Curtain today.

The second of this afternoon's two Romanian Liga I matches sees FCSB - or Steaua Bucharest - travel to CSMS Iasi. The market's fancy the visiting Speedsters to win at a canter, but Iasi won the reverse fixture 2-1 and it's the odds-against price on both teams to score again today that's reaching out to us.

Mihai Teja's hosts are currently ninth in the 14-team league. They are W4-D4-L1 at Emil Alexandrescu Stadium, having scored 12 times across those nine matches.

Thanks to a current winning streak of five, Bogdan Vintila's visitors have more away wins than anyone else in the league this season (W5-D1-D2). The Speedsters are flying but, having recently conceded at least once in 4/6 at home and away, we'll have to take the 2.166/5 about BTTS in this one.
