Team Analysis
Otelul: Otelul returned to the top division last season and managed to establish themselves successfully. They finished the regular season on a high note, securing a place in the Conference League playoffs and reaching the cup final, where they lost to Corvinul Hunedoara. They started the new season with a victory against Botosani, coming from behind to win 3-2 with a strong performance from Cisotti and Zivulic.
Farul: Farul, the unexpected champions from the last but one season, had a disappointing start to their new campaign.
