Win Probability: Otelul Galati or Csikszereda Miercurea Ciuc?

After analyzing all available data, we calculate the win probability as follows: Otelul Galati has a 52% chance to win, a draw has a 26% chance, and Csikszereda Miercurea Ciuc has a 22% chance. This calculation uses the inverse of the best available odds (home win at 1.60, draw at 2.25, away win at 4.55) to remove the bookmaker margin, then adjusts for the home advantage and the head-to-head record. Otelul Galati's strong home H2H record, including a 3-0 win earlier this year, gives them the edge despite their poor recent form. Csikszereda Miercurea Ciuc's away form is weak, which lowers their probability.
