Gloria Buzau vs Unirea Urziceni
Romanian Cup Semifinal
Gloria Buzau are strugglers in the championship, but managed a good run in the Cup. They have some young players loaned from Steaua. Otherwise, they have a pretty much mediocre squad. They have a bigger purpose at the moment, and that is the fight to avoid relegation. They have a very important match against "U" Cluj at the weekend.
Unirea rested some 10 players in their last league game. They are fourth in the standings and are playing a very good football, enhanced by a tight formation. They have some quality players in Mara and Bogdan Stancu and a very determined coach in Dan Petrescu.
I tip Unirea to go through to the final, which is valued at 5/11.
