SSC Farul form and stats
SSC Farul have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the Liga 1. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.
The fans are hoping that SSC Farul will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the match against U Craiova 1948 (placed 9th). Farul were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
Before that match, a loss in the away fixture against HJK in the Europa Conference League.

FCSB form and stats

Impressive finishing from Olaru (2) and Radunović secured the home win 3-0 against Universitatea Craiova in their previous game. FCSB delivered their win in the match against Universitatea Craiova already in the first half, and could slow the play down in the final 45 minutes to ensure the glorious victory. A solid performance!
Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting UTA Arad's place.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the FCSB manager Charalambous as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Hermannstadt.
FCSB have the goal stats of 6-3 (for/against) from 3 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
As for the last eight games between these two teams, there's four SSC Farul victories, zero draws and four FCSB wins. Over/under statistics; five of these games ended with three goals or more, three matches with two goals or less.
