The Super Liga weekend concludes with an important clash in the race for the league title as second-placed FC Botoșani host UTA Arad on Monday night. The hosts are currently fighting to stay in contention for the SuperLiga crown alongside three other teams, while UTA Arad are aiming to take another step forward in their pursuit of a top-six finish. Given UTA’s recent winless run and Botoșani’s contrasting excellent form, this fixture could turn out to be a one-sided affair.

Superliga
Meetings between these two sides in recent seasons have often been closely contested. Across their last ten SuperLiga encounters, UTA Arad hold a slight advantage with five wins compared to Botoșani’s three, while two matches ended level. Interestingly, four of the last five meetings produced under 2.5 goals, highlighting the tendency for tight and cagey battles.
Botosani team overview
Botoșani enter this game with the opportunity to climb to the top of the 2025/26 SuperLiga standings. Leontin Grozavu’s men have been outstanding in recent weeks, winning three consecutive league matches and sitting just two points behind leaders Universitatea Craiova. Their strong form stretches back to early August, as they remain unbeaten in the league for over two months, enjoying a seven-game run without defeat.
Botoșani’s attacking efficiency has been a key factor behind their impressive position in the table. They have scored 22 goals in 11 matches - an average of 2.0 per game - the best attacking record in the league so far. Their home form has also been exceptional, with 15 of those 22 goals coming at the Stadio Municipal. No major injuries or suspensions have been reported in Botoșani’s squad ahead of Monday’s match.

UTA Arad team overview
UTA Arad began the 2025/26 season strongly, collecting three wins and two draws from their opening five matches. However, their momentum has slowed in recent weeks, as a series of draws has prevented them from keeping pace with the leading pack. Despite this, they have lost only once all season, with a record of three wins, seven draws, and one defeat placing them just outside the top six. A victory on Monday could potentially lift them back into the playoff positions.
UTA have maintained a fairly balanced record in both attack and defence, scoring 15 goals and conceding 14. Their main setback ahead of this clash is the suspension of striker Marius Coman, who was sent off in the previous match against FK Csíkszereda.

Prediction
Botoșani’s recent form makes them clear favourites heading into this encounter. They have won three consecutive league games, scoring six goals in the process, and remain unbeaten at home this season with four wins and two draws. Statistically, they are the most efficient attacking side in the SuperLiga, averaging 2.0 goals per game, and their home scoring record underlines their confidence.
With UTA Arad struggling to build momentum away from home - just one win in five away fixtures - Botoșani look well placed to extend their winning streak. Expect the hosts to claim their fourth successive league victory on Monday night.
Three reasons we expect Botosani to Win
- Botosani have won 3 consecutive Super Liga matches in recent weeks.
- Botosani are still unbeaten at home this season - 4 wins and 2 draws with 15 goals scored in the process.
- UTA Arad have only picked up one away win from the possible five this season.
