Match Preview
Universitatea Craiova hosts İstanbul Başakşehir in the Europa Conference League on Thursday, with both teams looking to secure a vital win. The home side comes into this match in solid form, boasting three wins in their last five matches, while Başakşehir has been more inconsistent, managing only two wins in the same period. This difference in form could play a crucial role, especially as Craiova benefits from home advantage at the Stadionul Ion Oblemenco, where they have historically performed well. One notable aspect to consider is the attacking capabilities of both teams. Craiova has shown a propensity to score, while Başakşehir's recent matches suggest a more cautious approach, with their last five games seeing them struggle to find the net consistently. Given the head-to-head record, which includes just one away win for Başakşehir in their last ten encounters, Craiova may have the upper hand. This match could hinge on whether Başakşehir can break through a resilient Craiova defence or if the home side can exploit any defensive lapses to secure a crucial victory.
