Ploesti and Piatra will play the 13th round match today. Piatra are in a big crisis, both financial and game-wise. Some of their players left, among them top players Laza. Even when he was on the team, they were bottom table on a 1-12 record. On the other hand, this is a very important match for Ploiesti because the three points would see them take spot 4 before Craiova. The Romanian championship isn't typical and there can be no holding back. Plioesta are 5-1 in the championship and 8-1 overall home. Piatra are horribe away, they got just a set in 6 games. That was against the completely redesigned Steaua in the first game. They lost that by 13, to Arcada by 24, in Craiova by 27, to Baia Mare by 17. Even Cluj beat them by 18- They covered the handicap against Caransebes (-9) and Steaua with a better team. The home team didn't really cover this handicap but they have been struggling with injuries since the start of the season and when they were sort of complete, they beat Cluj by 26 and Cluj beat Piatra by 18. They have +16 against Unirea, who also beat Piatra. Last weekend, they trashed Stiinta Bacau away by 18. I think Piatra will lose by 19 to 24 points. Ploesti won by 23 in Piatra and by 30 here last season.
