On 6 October 2025 at Stadionul Municipal, FC Botoșani welcome UTA Arad in a Liga I fixture that promises attacking football and goal action at both ends.
Prediction Overview: BTTS – Yes
The recommended pick is Both Teams to Score – Yes. Botoșani’s aggressive home style and UTA’s habit of nicking goals even in tough away matches point toward both nets being breached. The hosts are prolific but leaky, while the visitors rarely hold out for clean sheets despite defensive structure.
Botoșani’s Home Momentum and Attacking Flair
FC Botoșani enter this round in fine form - unbeaten in their last five matches, collecting multiple wins and plenty of goals. Their home ground has been a fortress of late: they have scored two or more goals in each of their last three home league games, often taking early initiative. The side’s offensive rhythm comes from quick flank transitions and overlapping full-backs, which stretch opponents and create high-quality chances.
However, Botoșani’s defensive record leaves the door open. Data from Scores24 shows they have conceded in 9 of their last 10 home fixtures, a clear sign that while they thrive going forward, they also expose space in transition. That fragility keeps the BTTS option alive in nearly every home match.
UTA Arad’s Grit and Draw-Prone Style
UTA Arad have been competitive without being clinical. They’ve lost few matches but drawn many - three wins in eleven games reflect solid structure but modest finishing. Away from home, they tend to sit deep and look for counter-attacks or set-pieces, strategies that still produce scoring chances against adventurous sides like Botoșani.
UTA have averaged around 1.3 goals per match in recent weeks, scoring in most of their away games even when under pressure. Their discipline allows them to stay in contests and exploit defensive lapses, which is precisely how they’ll try to play here.
Head-to-Head Pattern & Expected Flow
The head-to-head series between these teams has been relatively even, with several matches in recent seasons producing both teams on the scoresheet. At home, Botoșani usually take initiative early, but UTA have shown resilience and late-game persistence. Given both sides’ trends - Botoșani’s strong but porous attack and UTA’s tendency to score once per outing - this contest aligns statistically with a BTTS outcome.
Expect Botoșani to dominate territory, UTA to counter, and chances at both ends. A 2-1 or 1-1 scoreline fits the data and tactical profiles of both teams.
