Otelul team overview
Since Otelul's return to the Superliga in 2023, the club has delivered two mid-table finishes, and the current campaign looks to be heading in the same direction. Laszlo Balint's team collected 13 points in the opening 11 league rounds and is closer to the championship group than the bottom of the standings. Otelul struggled in the previous weeks, as they lost two of the last three matches. In the previous outing, Balint's team lost 1-0 on the road against FCSB. Although Otelul lost, they defended pretty well, but their attacking line failed them again.
Otetul's head coach, Laszlo Balint, was disappointed with the final score against FCSB. He said, "We didn't have accuracy. I didn't like what we saw in the attack at all. It's clear that maybe FCSB wasn't at its best, but we also played at a good level. To get a good result against FCSB even in a difficult situation, you have to score. We didn't come for a 0-0"
Otelul have some problems with injuries ahead of the game against Metaloglobus. They will be without Kazu, Ne Lopes, and Stefan Daniel Bana on Monday afternoon.

Metaloglobus team overview
Metaloglobus Bucharest was founded in 1923 and mostly played in lower levels of Romanian football. However, Metaloglobus improved in recent years and finally won their first promotion to Superliga. Unfortunately, their top-flight campaign has been disastrous so far. Under Mihai Teja, Metaloglobus have collected only three points from 11 rounds and sit at the very bottom of the standings. Metaloglobus are the only team in the competition without a victory. In the previous match, Teja's team lost 2-0 at home against Botosani.
Metaloglobus's head coach, Mihai Teja, was pretty realistic about his team after a defeat against Botosani. He said, "We made a lot of mistakes again. We didn't make the right decisions in this match. In the end, that's all we could do today. The players are trying in training, but that's all we can do. It's not easy for us. There's a difference. We don't have a very large squad; if we have injured players, it's hard to replace them. This is who we are, this is our budget. We'll see what happens in the next match."
Metaloglobus' David Irimia and Tarek Aggoun are suspended and will not play on Monday in Galati. Also, Gabriel Dimitru, Junior Maranhao, and Andrei Sava are injured, while Bruno Carvalho is questionable to play.
