Venue: Arena Naţională (55611 seats)

The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. FCSB are in the 8th position while the guests worry at 10th.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
