FC Voluntari vs FC Argeș – Liga 2 Championship Group Round 4 Preview (April 15, 2025)
The Romanian Liga 2 Championship Group action continues on April 15, 2025, as FC Voluntari host FC Argeș at the Stadionul Anghel Iordănescu in a crucial Round 4 fixture. With both teams chasing promotion to Liga 1, every point counts in this high-stakes battle.
⚪ FC Voluntari: A Strong Push for Promotion
After a disappointing relegation in 2024, FC Voluntari have bounced back impressively in 2025. They entered the Championship Group with solid form and are currently top of the table, unbeaten in the three rounds played so far.
Led by head coach Liviu Ciobotariu, the team has relied on experience, tactical discipline, and home-ground advantage. In 2025, they’ve played 5 matches at home and have won 4 of them, showcasing strong defensive performances with only 2 goals conceded.
⚽ Key Players:
Vlad Morar – The experienced forward leads the line with confidence, having already netted 3 goals in 2025.
Ricardinho – The Brazilian fullback is crucial in transitions, offering width and creating chances from the flank.
🟣 FC Argeș: Inconsistent but Dangerous
FC Argeș, another team with top-flight ambitions, have had a mixed start in the Championship Group. After finishing the regular season in solid form, they’ve now taken 4 points from their first 3 games in the Championship phase, placing them in mid-table.
Their away form remains a concern — 2 draws and 2 losses in 2025 — but the quality in their squad means they can’t be underestimated. The team’s direct play style and quick transitions make them a threat against possession-oriented sides like Voluntari.
⚽ Key Players:
Paul Arnold Garita – A powerful forward capable of turning a game in one moment.
Denis Dumitrașcu – Orchestrates the midfield with calmness and technical ability.

🔍 Tactical Breakdown
