FCSB team overview
A 3-1 defeat on aggregate against Shkendija in the second Champions League qualifying round ended FCSB’s hopes of qualifying for the group stage. Last week's 3-2 win over Drita gave FCSB a glimmer of hope, as the team has been in pretty disastrous form since mid-July.
Forward Birligea Daniel scored twice in the first leg against Drita and is one of their main threats up front. Florin Tanase is still serving a ban after being dismissed from the game against Shkendija for violent conduct.

Prediction
It was a pretty entertaining first leg in Romania last week, considering the number of chances created and the accumulation of xG goals. Drita scored two goals for an xG of 1.61, while FC FCSB put the ball in the net three times for an xG of 2.11. Although FCSB were more dominant throughout the match, they have been playing below their usual level for about a month. The Romanian champions have lost six of their last eight matches in all competitions, failing to keep a clean sheet on seven occasions. For this reason, we are betting on both teams to score on Thursday.
Three reasons we expect Both Teams to Score
- The first leg ended 3-2 to FC FCSB with both teams scoring
- FC FCSB have lost 6 out of a possible 8 matches over the last month
- FC FCSB have failed to keep a clean sheet in 7 of the last 8 matches in all competitions
