FC FCSB team overview
FC FCSB prepares for this one on the back of a disappointing 4–1 European defeat against FK Auda, which bundled them out of the Conference League.
The Red and Blues will now turn all their attention back to domestic duties where their league campaign has been flawless. Elias Charalambous’s men have won two from two with two clean sheets, including a commanding opening 2–0 victory over FC Argeș.
Looking closely at their domestic run in Bucharest, the reigning champions have transformed their home ground into an absolute fortress. They boast five wins from their last six home domestic matches, scoring three or more goals in three of them.
Up front, dynamic forward Daniel Bîrligea remains the primary threat after scoring on the opening day of the league campaign. However, the team faces minor tactical hurdles as Octavian Popescu continues to manage fitness setbacks.

Farul Constanta team overview
Farul Constanța enters this one on the back of a morale-boosting 2–0 home victory against Corvinul Hunedoara. The Sailors will look to build on that momentum as they attempt to balance out their mixed start to the SuperLiga campaign.
Ioan Ovidiu Sabău’s men need to sharpen up immediately on their travels, having suffered a disappointing 2–1 defeat at Universitatea Cluj on their only away trip so far this term.
Up front, veteran striker Denis Alibec remains the definitive main man, carrying the primary attacking burden despite still hunting for his first goal or assist this season after two appearances.
However, the tactical setup faces a verified roadblock, as defender Lucas Pellegrini remains a long-term absentee while recovering from a broken tibia.
