FCSB got a 2-1 win in their last game again🌞st Agricola Borcea in their previous game in th𝄹e Romania Cup. They now shift their focus back to the league, where they defeated Otelul 4-1 in their last outing. Daniel Birligea got a brace, and Alexandru Musi and Darius Olaru were also on the scoresheet. They remain unbeaten in their previous four games in all competitions and have lost just one in their last 10. At home, they are unbeaten in their previous nine games. They sit third on the table with 30 points in 18 games, scoring 27 goals and conceding 19. A win for them will send them to the top of the table pending the outcome of Monday night fixture in the Cluj derby.

Botoşani won 3-0 against FC Botosani in their last game in the Romania Cup. Hജowever, they were held to a goalless draw in their previous league action against Farul Constanta. They remain unbeaten in their last five games in all competitions but have seen just two wins in their previous nine games. They sit 14th on the table with 18 points in 18 games, scoring 15 goals and conceding 23. They have picked up just 6 points in their nine games away from home and🙈 have scored just four (the worst away record in the league).

FCSB — Stefan Tarnovanu, Valentin Cretu, Siyabonga ꦛNgezana, Joyskim Dawa, Risto Radunovic, Florin Tanase, Adrian Sut, Darius Olaru, Marius Stefanescu, Daniel Birligea, Alexandru Marian Musi.

Botosani — Giannis Anestiꦦs, Rijad Sadiku, Patricio Matricardi, George Miron, Alexandru Tiganasu, Gabriel Eugen David, Aldair Ferreira, Eduard Florescu, Lorand Levente Fulop, Hervin Ongenda, Marian Chica-Rosa.

After a slow start t♔o the season, FCSB are gradually climbing the table and may likely claim the top spot if results work in their favor this round. On the other hand, Botosani have not been superb, and I believe they hav🍌e no chance in this game. They have only recorded one win on the road this season and have managed to score four goals. Without mincing words, I expect the hosts to win from the first 45 minutes and keep a clean sheet.
