- Competition: Superliga, Relegation Playout Final, 2nd Leg

After a 2:1 win for Voluntari against Unitea Slobozia in the first leg of the Superliga Relegation Playout, these teams will meet in the second leg, this time at May 1 Stadium in Slobozia.
Last year, Unirea Slobozia finally grabbed the promotion to the first tier for the first time in the club's history. However, through this season, the Yellow-Blue struggled, and it seemed they would get relegated. Luckily for them, they went on a solid streak in the last part of the season and avoided direct relegation by one point. Now, after losing in the first leg, they are the underdogs, according to the bookies, to secure survival, as they offer odds of around 2.32 for that bet.
On the other hand, Voluntari were relegated after nine consecutive years spent in the first tier. This year, they are trying to make an instant return but weren't really close to making a direct promotion. Even though they have a one-goal advantage from the first leg, they will have a challenging task in the second leg, especially considering their poor road record in Liga 2.
Unirea Slobozia vs Voluntari pick: Unirea Slobozia to win
Unirea Slobozia won back-to-back games against Sepsi and Gloria before eventually losing to FC Voluntari. Moreover, they lost only twice in the last ten matches. On the other hand, FC Voluntari are on an eight-game unbeaten run. Still, they had a favored schedule, and most of their good results happened at home. Away from it, they won once in seven games against much weaker teams than Unirea.
In the first leg, we saw a close match where Voluntari eventually won 2:1. However, it was a strange match because the pitch was filled with water, and we believe that worked more in favor of FC Voluntari. Still, with all that being said, Unirea Slobozia were a lot better team despite losing the match. They had 61% ball possession, ten more goal attempts, and 0.17 higher xG.
Now, considering FC Voluntari's terrible road record, Unirea's home pitch advantage, and all the above, we believe Unirea Slobozia should secure at least a minimal win and force extra time.
