FCSB perform at a high level so far being 4th in the table. Gaz Metan Mediaş can look both up and down from their 6th position.
It's no vacation for neither FCSB nor Gaz Metan Mediaş as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
FCSB form and stats
4 victories, 2 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what FCSB have to build on here at National Arena in the Liga 1.
FCSB's previous game was a Liga 1 match also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Gaz Metan Mediaş (placed 6th). The home side are looking to build on that result. A strong away win before that one, visiting CSM Iaşi and winning 2-1.

Gaz Metan Mediaş form and stats
The visitors are W3-D2-L5 on the road this term. That's in the Liga 1. Gaz Metan Mediaş seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Two away games in a row for Gaz Metan Mediaş, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-2 versus FCSB in the Liga 1. That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Voluntari.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Gaz Metan Mediaş as they have only managed to score 9 times from 10 away games in the league. Gaz Metan Mediaş have conceded 14 goals in these away matches.
