Win Probability: UTA Arad or FC Botosani?

Based on the available data, the match outcome probabilities are:

• UTA Arad win – 44%
• Draw – 36%
• FC Botosani win – 20%

We calculated these by taking the average bookmaker odds (home 2.07, draw 2.11, away 3.82), converting them to implied probabilities, and then adjusting for the stronger home form of UTA Arad and the poor away record of FC Botosani. UTA Arad have won three of their last four home matches, while Botosani have collected just one point from their last four away games. The low draw odds also point to a very tight contest, but home advantage and a superior H2H record at Stadionul Francisc von Neuman tip the balance clearly towards UTA Arad.

Across the six bookmakers listed, the average odds are: UTA Arad win at 2.07, draw at 2.11, and FC Botosani win at 3.82. This market sees UTA Arad as a slight favourite, but the draw price is almost identical, indicating how close this cup tie is expected to be.

For those seeking betting tips, the draw-no-bet on UTA Arad or a double chance 1X could offer value, given the home side’s low losing rate against Botosani at this venue. Our match prediction, based on all the stats, is that UTA Arad are more likely to win, but a tight affair with few goals and a draw cannot be ruled out. The most probable outcome is a narrow home victory.
