Today, at the FRF headquarters, the draw for the second part of the 2021-22 League 2 championship (play-off and play-out) took place. According to the draw, Politehnica will make its debut in the play-out at home against Danarea Calarasi.

Play-out schedule – Group A:

Stage I: Politehnica – Danarea Calarasi (19 March)

Stage VI: Politehnica – Metaloglobus (30 April)

Stage VII: Poli Iași – Politehnica (7 May)

In the play-out, only one game will be played in each group, resulting in six matches for each team. At the end of the play-out, the 6th and 7th places will be relegated, and the two teams in 5th place in the two groups will play a two-legged play-off to stay in League 2.

Politehnica starts the play-out from 5th place in Group A with 21 points.

UPDATE “Every game has become very important, no matter if the opponent is Călărași, which is at the bottom of the standings, or Csikszereda, which finished 7th. Every game is extremely extremely important. We come after a defeat, a defeat that has five good games behind it, with positive results, we will have to get over this defeat, analyze what was not in order, make good decisions, so that the first game – with Danarea Calarasi – will find us at a very good level. I think it’s a balanced program for us and for Șelimbăr. Maybe the fact that we play them at home is an advantage, but I think that every game is difficult, whether we play at home or away, every game is very difficult and must be treated as such!”, said Nicolae Croitoru, Politehnica’s head coach after the draw for the play-out schedule.
