BCM U Pitesti — CSU Sibiu: 90:86, Divizia A

BKM U Pitești secured a narrow 90:86 victory over Sibiu in Division A on 3 October 2026. Both sides entered the match level on record, each sitting on 16 wins from 28 games. The result leaves Pitești in sixth and Sibiu in seventh, though the gap between them remains negligible.

I had tipped the home side to prevail, and at 55 per cent confidence I was right to do so. The margin was tight, but Pitești found a way through when it mattered. Sibiu responded well, yet they could not overturn the deficit.

These two have been meeting regularly. Their last five encounters before today all took place in May, with each side claiming two wins and one draw between them. This result extends Pitești's slight dominance in that recent run, though Sibiu have not won since their last meeting in May either.

Neither team has recorded a draw all season. Twelve losses each suggests both have been vulnerable away from home, and tonight's result reinforces that pattern. The zero-point tally in the standings is unusual, but it reflects the current structure of the division rather than anything about these two clubs specifically.

Sibiu will need to regroup quickly. They came close again, but the home crowd roared them on through the final minutes. Pitești held every card in those closing stages and did not let go.
