Botoşani form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Botoşani's two home games in the Liga 1 so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Stadionul Municipal.

Botoşani are returning here after visiting CFR Cluj and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Camara scored the goal(s). Manager Teja felt very clever after Camara scored the winning goal against CFR Cluj, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 25th minute.

Before that, Botoşani drew at home versus SSC Farul.

Botoşani has scored 4 goals so far and conceded 3 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

FCSB form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Liga 1 for FCSB with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.

This match can not go any worse than the previous one, a Europa Conference League home defeat versus Viking with 1-2 on the scoreboard. Yippee; their first victory in the league after eight games not winning.

That result followed a home victory 3-2 versus Chindia Târgovişte in the Liga 1.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the FCSB manager Petrea as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Viking.

It's early days yet, but FCSB has scored 1 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

FCSB have won at least one point in the last 9 fixtures (6-3-0) against Botoşani.
