FCSB form and stats
Nothing but glory last season for FCSB, as they won the Romania Cup.The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 4 wins, 0 draws and only 2 losses in the Liga 1. FCSB have been producing wins at home as well, producing a total of six victories in a row regardless of arena. It’s been three wins in a row for FCSB on their travels, an amazing performance which inspire hopes of making this one the fourth consecutive victory.
FCSB play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-2 victory visiting Gaz Metan Medias. A home win before that, celebrating 4-1 vs Botosani.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager A. Petrea when Sergiu Buş scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 28th minute.
The FCSB manager A. Petrea has got the team scoring on the road, with 13 away goals in 6 league matches. FCSB's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 9 goals from these trips.
