Petrocub Hincesti vs Egnatia prediction

Petrocub Hincesti come into this one on the back of beginning their domestic campaign with a couple of victories in the Moldovan National Division group stage, defeating both Dacia-2 Buiucani and then Milsami Orhei earlier this week.

They now face an Egnatia side that have become the dominant force in Albanian football, returning to the top-flight in 2021 before managing three successive league title victories in the Kategoria Superiore.

With a lot of investment, Nevil Dede’s Egnatia will fancy themselves to take the game to a Petrocub side that are in decent form ahead of this one.
