Prediction ASU Poli Timişoara vs CS Dinamo București 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the Romania Cup on 27/08/2025

Match outlook and context

The Romania Cup throws up an intriguing fixture as ASU Poli Timişoara host CS Dinamo București at Stadionul Dan Păltinișanu in Timişoara on 27/08/2025. The venue, with its 32,972 capacity, will stage a clash between a home side searching for consistency and a traditionally stronger Dinamo unit eager to reassert itself after a recent stumble. ASU Poli arrive off a narrow 1-0 cup win over Şcolar Reşiţa on 13 August and have a mixed sequence of results across their last ten, recorded as W-W-L-L-D-L-L-L-L-W. That patchy form underlines a team capable of moments of solidity but also prone to lapses.

Dinamo București’s recent run reads very differently. Their last five results before this cup tie included several wins, although they were handed a heavy 3-0 defeat away to Ceahlaul Piatra Neamt on 23 August in Liga 2. Still, their overall rolling form shows seven wins, one draw and two losses in the last ten, a run that hints at greater consistency and attacking potency coming into the tie.

Tactical tendencies and key numbers

Statistics paint a clear picture of who is likely to control the match. ASU Poli’s data shows a modest attacking output: nine total shots across home contexts with six on target, an average of 4.5 shots per game and 53 attacks on average. They have recorded two clean sheets but only three wins in their latest ten. By contrast, CS Dinamo București’s numbers are substantially fuller: 22 total shots with 10 on target, an average of 11 shots per game, 118 attacks on average and 76 dangerous attacks. Dinamo also average 7.5 corners compared to ASU Poli’s 2.5, and they’ve found the net four times away in the compiled stats.

The data suggests Dinamo carry the sharper attacking threat and greater tempo, while ASU Poli are more conservative and less prolific in creating sustained danger. Dinamo’s recent heavy loss is a warning that they can be vulnerable, but their superior shot volume and dangerous-attack figures mean they are likelier to create the decisive moments in this cup tie.

Prediction and betting suggestion

Taking form, underlying shot metrics and recent cup performances into account, the clearest market to back is the 1X2. CS Dinamo București’s superior attacking numbers and stronger recent run make them the most convincing pick to progress from this encounter. Betting suggestion: back an away win for CS Dinamo București in the 1X2 market.
