Match Prediction
Expected score: Stiinta Baia Mare 0-3 Craiova
Stiinta Baia MareDrawCraiova
Stiinta Baia Mare hosts Craiova in Divizia A1 on 13 November 2026, a fixture that pits the league's tenth-placed side against second-placed Craiova. The visitors arrive as heavy favourites, having won three of their opening four matches and sitting on 10 points, while the hosts remain winless in the league with just one victory across their opening four games.
Team form
Stiinta Baia Mare
Stiinta Baia Mare's start to the season has been difficult. They have lost their last three Divizia A1 matches without taking a set: 0-3 to Dinamo Bucuresti, 0-3 to Stiinta Bucuresti, and 0-3 to Arcada Galati. Their only win came in a friendly against CSM Bucuresti, but they have conceded 14 sets across their last five outings while scoring just 3. The attacking output of 0.6 sets per game over this span reflects a side struggling to generate offensive threat at this level.
Craiova
Craiova's form stands in stark contrast. They have won four of their last five matches across all competitions, including three consecutive Divizia A1 victories. Most recently they beat Zalau 3-1 at home and Rapid Bucuresti 3-1, showing consistency in both attack and defence. Over their last five games they have scored 14 sets while conceding only 6, averaging 2.8 sets per game—more than four times the output of their opponents this weekend.
Head-to-head
There is no head-to-head record between these sides in the available data, so this will be a first competitive meeting or the history is not documented.
Key factors
The gulf in current form is the dominant factor here. Craiova's defensive solidity—conceding 1.2 sets per game recently—will be tested against a Baia Mare attack averaging 0.6 per game. Conversely, Craiova's offensive rhythm of 2.8 sets per game should find opportunities against a Baia Mare defence that has shipped 14 sets in five matches. The visitors' league position and points total (10 from 4 games) underscore their status as genuine contenders, while Baia Mare's 3 points from four matches reflects a side still finding its feet. Craiova's ability to control tempo and convert their attacking phases will be crucial; Baia Mare will need to tighten their defensive shape and create rare but clinical chances if they are to trouble the visitors.
Prediction
The statistical picture strongly favours Craiova. The hosts have not won a league match this season and have conceded 3-0 in three consecutive Divizia A1 outings. Craiova, by contrast, have demonstrated the attacking depth and defensive discipline of a top-two side. The expected sets favour the visitors by a substantial margin, and their recent form—three wins in their last four league games—suggests they will impose their game on a struggling Baia Mare outfit.
Craiova are clear favourites to win this match. The visitors should control possession and territory, and their superior firepower should translate into a comfortable victory. Baia Mare will struggle to break down a well-organised Craiova defence, making an away win the most likely outcome.
