3% Rotation #206925: Romania Liga 1 Saturday OVER 2 -120 in FC Botosani vs Petrolul Ploiesti @ 9:30 AM ET - This total is available over 1.5 and laying huge juice (too much for my liking) or over 2.5 for a big comeback price. While I am expecting 3 or more goals here, I do not want to get burned if this match lands on exactly 2 goals. That said, I am going with the Asian Total option here. For example, at DraftKings when viewing the matches select the Spread/Total option and then select Asian Total and you will see over 2 goals as an option. Currently the price on this is -120 as of 1:45 AM ET. This is a great value. We get a low total here because both clubs have shown some low-scoring tendencies this season. They key here is Botosani is a different club when at home and Petro is a different club when traveling! Petro has had a number of low-scoring results this season but on the road they have seen 2 of their 3 matches total at least 3 goals and those 2 averaged 4 goals apiece. Also, they had a road match friendly just prior to the season against Fenerbahce and that also totaled 3 goals. They have proven to be a different club when away from Ploiesti. As for Botosani, this is just their 3rd home match of the season. Though they have struggled on their travels they have both scored and conceded a total of 3 goals in their two home matches this season. They enter this match off a disgusting 3-0 road loss at CFR Cluj so look for them to be motivated and ready here at home. Petro is off a scoreless home draw with a Galati club that is one of the league leaders this season but this followed a 2-1 road win for Petro. Look for the visitors to take advantage of facing a weaker foe this week just like they did at Unirea Slobozia. I am not saying they win this match I am just saying they get their scoring going again but so too does Botosani. Also, though Petro draws a lot at home they have not had a draw in last 5 road matches in Liga 1 action and also Botosani does not a have a draw in their 6 matches this season! In other words, given all of the above, expect at least a 2-1 type of match here. 3% OVER 2 -120 in FC Botosani
