An exciting game awaits us on Monday afternoon in Clinceni, where Unirea Slobozia and Otelul Galaţi face off on Matchday 4 of the new Romanian top-flight campaign. The game takes place at Unirea Slobozia's home ground, and Ion Vlădoiu’s side are slight favourites, having won their only home league game so far this season. However, the visitors will fancy their chances after beating Dinamo Bucuresti 2:1 last weekend.

Club Friendlies 4
Monday’s game marks the fifth meeting between the two sides since 2022. The previous four head-to-head encounters produced fairly balanced results, with both sides registering two wins and two clean sheets each. In terms of entertainment value, none of the fixtures produced more than two goals, so it wasn’t the most exciting series of games.
FC Unirea Slobozia team overview
Unirea Slobozia are competing in the Romanian top flight for the second consecutive year. They avoided relegation last season by the narrowest of margins, beating Voluntari 4-3 on penalties following a 2-2 aggregate score over two legs.
The Yellow-Blues issued a statement win on Match Day 2 of the new campaign, beating Csikszereda 6:1, but that remains their only win so far this season. They lost the other two games, conceding six goals while scoring only one.
Right back Andrei Dorobanțu has missed the last two games due to an Achilles tendon injury, and Monday’s game comes too soon for him.

Otelul Galati team overview
Meanwhile, Otelul Galati finished in the bottom half of the standings in each of their last two campaigns. The Steelworkers had little trouble avoiding relegation last season, ranking eighth, and seem to have started the 2025–26 campaign well.
László Balint’s side hosted Dinamo Bucuresti in a bid for their first win of the season last weekend having picked up only one point from their opening two games.
The Steelworkers got off to a flying start, taking the lead after only 18 minutes, and managed to win the game 2:1 despite a scare in the second half from their visitors.
They will travel to the Arena 1 in Clinceni on Monday, aiming for their first back-to-back league wins since April although two players will be missing due to injury: Cristian Chira (ankle) and Julián Bonilla (muscle).

Prediction
With both sides having won only once so far this season, and the results of recent head-to-head meetings being balanced, I think we could be in for a close game. Unirea Slobozia conceded under one goal in each of their last nine matches, while their opponents kept a clean sheet in three of their last five away games. And with just one goal being scored in each of the last two meetings between the two sides at the Clinceni - Arena 1, I am going for the under 2.5 goals option.
Three reasons we expect under 2.5 goals in this game
- All the last four meetings between Unirea Slobozia and Otelul ended with under 2.5 goals.
- Six of the last nine competitive home games of Unirea Slobozia ended with under 2.5 goals.
- Only three of the last seven away competitive games of Otelul produced more than two goals.
