Universitatea Craiova host Getafe in the Europa Conference League on October 15, 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 16:45 local time at Stadionul Ion Oblemenco. The teams arrive with sharply different recent records: Craiova have won five consecutive competitive matches, while Getafe have lost each of their last five away games. The hosts’ run without conceding in their last five matches adds another dimension to a fixture in which Getafe will be looking to improve their results on the road.

Universitatea Craiova’s Recent Form and Key Stats

Universitatea Craiova enter the match after a 1-0 away victory over Csikszereda on October 11. That result extended their winning sequence to five matches. Across those five games, they have averaged 3.0 goals scored and 0.0 conceded per match, combining a strong scoring return with a record that has given opponents little opportunity to respond on the scoreboard.

Their recent home results offer further encouragement. Craiova have won four of their last five home games, drawing the other. That draw came in European competition, so this fixture presents a chance to turn their latest continental home appearance into a victory. Their route to the Conference League has taken them through Champions League qualifying and then the Europa League before reaching this competition.

The narrow win over Csikszereda showed a different side to a five-match spell in which Craiova have averaged three goals per game. They needed only one goal to secure that result and preserved another clean sheet. Against a Getafe side with a modest scoring average over its own last five matches, maintaining that defensive record could be particularly important.

Getafe’s Recent Form and Key Stats

Getafe come into the fixture following a 3-0 defeat against FC Barcelona on October 10. Their last five matches have produced one win, two draws and two defeats, with averages of 0.6 goals scored and 1.2 conceded per game. Over their last seven competitive matches, they have recorded one win, two draws and four losses.

The away record is the clearest concern for the visitors. Getafe have suffered five consecutive away defeats this season. One came in the away leg of their Conference League playoff against Partizan, although they progressed with a 4-3 aggregate win. Their Conference League season statistics stand at one win and one defeat, with averages of 2.0 goals scored and 1.5 conceded per match.

Getafe’s broader match trends suggest that their away difficulties have not generally been accompanied by high-scoring games. Each of their last 15 away matches has featured under 3.5 total goals, as have 29 of their last 31 matches overall. They have also trailed at half-time in their last three away games. Those figures leave the visitors with two immediate challenges: improving their start and finding a way to score against a home team in strong defensive form.

Universitatea Craiova vs Getafe Match Analysis

The contrast in results makes Universitatea Craiova the stronger side on recent evidence. Five straight wins and four victories in their last five home fixtures meet a Getafe team that has lost five successive away games. The supplied win probabilities also favor Craiova at 69%, compared with 20% for a draw and 11% for Getafe.

Goals trends require a more careful reading. Craiova’s recent scoring average is high, but their clean-sheet record and Getafe’s run of matches under 3.5 total goals do not point automatically to an open contest. The probabilities for over and under 2.5 goals are close, at 51% and 49% respectively, while the probability that both teams score is 38%. Rather than relying on a goals total, the clearest distinction between the sides is their form: Craiova keep winning, and Getafe have yet to halt their sequence of away defeats.

For Getafe, the playoff success over Partizan demonstrates that an away-leg loss has not always prevented them from advancing in Europe. This is a single match, however, and their recent results on the road remain a significant obstacle. Craiova have the opportunity to build on both their winning streak and their defensive consistency in front of their home crowd.
