FC Farul Constanta vs ACS Sepsi Prediction: Can Sepsi get a successive Super Cup?

As the 2023/2024 Romania League set to begin, this clash will be the first Super Cup since 2018 that CFR will not be part. Sepsi will be playing their second successive Super Cup in a row. Previews, h2h, expert tips, and odds are provided below.

Gheorghe Hagi, the coach of Farul Constanta, will be eager to restore the team's reputation after a preseason campaign that yielded one narrow victory, a draw, and three defeats. These less-than-favorable results present a challenge as they approach the new season.

However, it's worth noting that Farul Constanta enjoyed a successful previous season, clinching the league title and establishing themselves as one of the strongest teams in the league. Building on that achievement, the team aspires to maintain their status among the league's elite.

The club has been active in the transfer market, securing the services of Left Midfielder Marco Borgnino from Atlético de Rafaela for a fee of €100k. Additionally, they have made eight other signings on free transfers, reinforcing their squad for the upcoming challenges.

While bolstering their squad, Farul Constanta have also experienced departures, most notably the departure of center forward Louis Munteanu. Munteanu, who spent last season on loan from Serie A side Fiorentina, will be missed, but the team remains determined to adapt and thrive.

With Gheorghe Hagi at the helm and a combination of new signings and existing talent, Farul Constanta aims to overcome their preseason setbacks and build a formidable campaign as they defend their league title and continue their pursuit of success.

Sepsi enter this fixture on the back of an impressive victory in last season's Super Cup, securing a remarkable 2-1 comeback win against CFR Cluj. Their triumph in the Romanian Cup, where they prevailed in a penalty shootout against U. Cluj after a goalless regulation time, earned them a spot in this season's Super Cup.

During the preseason period, Sepsi participated in three matches, securing one win while suffering two defeats. As they aim to clinch consecutive Super Cup titles, the team will be determined to build on their recent success.

Sepsi have bolstered their squad with the acquisitions of Bogdan Otelita from AS FC Buzau, Sherif Kallaku from KF Teuta, Darius Oroian from CSA Steaua, Dinu Moldovan from AFC Chindia Targoviste, Isnik Alimi from FK Qabala, and Gabriel Debeljuh from CFR Cluj. These new signings, all secured on free transfers, demonstrate the club's ambition and readiness for the upcoming season.

With a blend of experienced additions and a taste for victory in recent competitions, Sepsi aims to carry their positive momentum into the Super Cup and continue their strong performance throughout the season ahead.

Based on the available records, Farul and Sepsi have faced each other on seven occasions. Farul have emerged victorious in four of those encounters, while Sepsi has won twice, and one match ended in a draw.
