Universitatea Craiova: In search of gold

The home team, Universitatea Craiova, have had an impressive campaign to date, occupying second place in the Romanian league, just three points behind their eternal rival, Universitatea de Cluj. Motivation is at its maximum, since a victory would allow them to tie on points with their rivals.
