Recap
Chindia Târgoviște are going through a difficult period, with coach Nicolae Croitoru dismissed following the defeat to CS Dinamo București. The situation inside the dressing room is also far from ideal, as the players have reportedly not received their salaries for three months, creating additional tension around the squad.
The timing of this match is another concern. Chindia have a demanding league fixture away to second-placed CSM Slatina in just three days, which is likely to force significant rotation and leave several regular starters on the bench.
Voluntari have not started the SuperLiga campaign as expected, recording a 1-2-4 record after seven rounds. However, their next league match is not until next week, meaning they can approach this game with a stronger lineup and full focus.
