Friendly game part of Marbella tournement which takes place in Spain.In this group there are also Lech Poznan and Rubin Kazan who will play each other today.Timisoara lost first game against Lech 0-5 playing not so bad as result suggest but they are in first stage of their physical preparation, so they are focused more on physical stuff.

Timisoara is struggling financially and they had to get rid of some players, experienced one's like Tames or Curtean.They are also having a conflict with Sepsi and he didnt made the trip to Spain.Basically Timisoara is focusing on rebuilding a young team, promoting many young players from their youth center.Some of them are talented and that should be enough to achieve promotion to first league.Timisoara barely started to train and they kind of come here unprepared.They were too relaxed against Lech and they simply fell physically in second half as Lech scored 4.But worth to be mention that Timisoara played a good first half , missing some good chances, they had a post and other big misses.They are also trying new system 4-3-3 and also they didnt used best squad as players like Goga, Ilie, Daruiala, Fuchs were involved in National teams games.Goga is their main offensive power, others are young talents from their youth center.Their coach stated they are at 50 % from their potential and their main objective is to train hard.In this conditions we can expect again a relaxed Timisoara, playing soft.They do have offensive quality and i expect them to score here more than one goal since they romanian league is no doubt better than georgian league and Timisoara although plays in second division still have players with first league status like Axente, Ricketts, Goga, Scutaru, Mera.

Zestafoni also not much advanced from preparation point of view.They also played 2 games in Spain: first one was a big loss against ukrainian side Dnipro 2-8, but they used some young players in first half and they were simply outplayed 0-5.They showed some reaction in second half and did scored and created several chances.In first game of this Marbella tournement they lost again big time against solid russian side Rubin Kazan 1-5.It's clear that also Zestafoni doesnt put much importance on results, they are trying different systems and players and also physical preparation probably more important at this stage, just like in Timisoara case.

Both teams have defensive issues, Timisoara has young defense very exposed to mistakes.Zestafoni likes to play offensive and i'm expecting them to score here.Should be a nice open game with both teams relaxed and playing good football without the pressure of the result.
