Match preview

Universitatea Craiova hosts Farul Constanta on 18 October 2026 at 21:00 in Liga I. Craiova leads the Romanian top flight and has won five of its last six matches, scoring 16 goals in that run while conceding just one. The club reached the UEFA Conference League group stage for the first time in its history. At home this season, Craiova has won seven of ten matches, averaging 2.2 goals for and 0.5 against. Farul arrives in poor away form, winning only four of ten road games with an average of 1.4 goals scored and 1.3 conceded.

Form and H2H

Craiova's recent form is dominant. The team dismantled Steaua 5–0 and beat Slatina 4–0 before drawing 1–1 with Getafe away in European competition. At home, Craiova has lost just one of its last ten matches. Farul has struggled on the road, winning four times in ten away games this season. In their last six head-to-head meetings, Craiova won three, Farul won two, and they drew once. Craiova's home record against Farul includes a 4–3 win in September 2022 and a 4–1 victory in May 2022.

Best bet

Back Universitatea Craiova to win. The home side's seven wins in ten matches at this ground, combined with Farul's weakness away from home, makes Craiova the clear favourite. Craiova's attacking form—2.2 goals per game at home—and defensive solidity—0.5 goals conceded per game—give them a decisive edge. At 1xBet, a home win pays 1.42.

Odds to watch

Craiova's home win is available at 1.45 on 1Win. The draw sits at 4.45 on 1xBet and 4.26 on 1Win. A Farul away win is priced at 6.63 on 1xBet and 6.2 on 1Win. Given Craiova's dominance at home and Farul's poor away record, the home win represents the strongest value in the 1X2 market.
