Game preview & prediction

SCM Craiova, the model favourite, faces SCM Timisoara on 20 November 2026 in the Divizia A, with the Pythia model predicting a 58% chance of a Craiova win and a 42% chance for Timisoara, projecting a 90-87 score for the visitors and a total of 176.7 points; the 5% overtime probability adds a slight edge for a close finish. Timisoara's season record of 2-5, with 80.0 points per game and 87.1 allowed, shows a struggling squad that has won only one of its four home games, averaging 79.5 points and conceding 87.5 at home, and has lost three of its last five outings, including defeats to CSM Oradea, CSU Sibiu and Dinamo Bucharest. Craiova, meanwhile, stands 3-1 with 103.0 points scored and 99.2 allowed, ranking fifth, and has won two of its three road games, averaging 101.3 points and 99.3 allowed on the road, with three wins and two losses in its last five, including a recent 105-96 home win over Gence and a 107-105 away victory over CSU Sibiu.

Written by Pythia from this game's frozen forecast, the market's main lines and both teams' results.
