The season is still fairly new and the Liga 1 table has to be read with caution. So far FCSB find themselves in 3rd position and Dinamo Bucureşti are placed 11th.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
FCSB form and stats
As mentioned below, FCSB are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Liga 1 games.
The FCSB fans got no joy from their last match, a Europa League game also here at Arena Naţională: A 0-2 defeat against Slovan Liberec. Ahead of that match, FCSB won a home game hosting Argeş (3-0).
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the FCSB at home in the league. 6 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Dinamo Bucureşti form and stats
Things could have gone better for Dinamo Bucureşti in their Liga 1 away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.
Bucureşti play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-1 victory visiting Gaz Metan Medias (placed 7th). A draw for Bucureşti before that, at their own venue hosting Botosani (1-1).
It's early days yet, but Dinamo Bucureşti has scored 3 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): FCSB won four games, four matches ended with a draw and Dinamo Bucureşti has two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / fourFCSB missing players
