FCSB have a huge opportunity to move two points clear of leaders Farul in a match that could have a decisive impact on the final configuration of the Super League standings.

FCSB are in 3rd place with 34 points and are yet to lose in the playoffs after home games with Craiova University 1-1, Sepsi 2-1 and CFR Cluj 1-1, both matches played on the road.

Elias Haralambous’ side have won eight, drawn six and lost two at home this season, while the top scorer for the Reds and Blues, as well as the league, is Andrea Compagno with 17 goals in the Super League.

Elias Charalambous announced that he has information from the club, according to which approximately 30,000 fans will be present at the National Arena (this season’s record was recorded in the game FCSB – Rapid 3:1, 31,233 spectators in the same stadium).

“Even hypothetically, I don’t consider losing a match. In the event of a draw you are still on the cards, if we already win you must allow us to prepare for the Champions League! If you are a big team, hit 2-0, 3-0! In any case, I believe that our strongest opponent is CFR Cluj,” said Gigi Bekali, owner of FCSB.

Farul are in 1st place with 39 points and are the most efficient team in the playoffs with two wins, both at home, 2-1 against Sepsi and 3-2 against Universitat Craiova, and an away draw, 1-1 with Rapid .

In the matches of the current edition of the Super League on the road, Farul won seven victories, six draws and three defeats, and the best scorer of the “sailors” is Denys Alibek, who has 11 successes in the championship.

“Everything is possible with them! We played well against them in the regular season. I want us to have a very good match from all points of view, we have to outdo ourselves. The opposition is very good and on a good day they can score many times. We are going to Bucharest to score a lot of goals in order to return home with three points,” said Gike Hagi, patron-coach of the Farul team.

Farul won both matches with FCSB in the regular season, 3-1 at home in the round on August 31, 2022 (Alibek 23p, Doukoure 45+2, Grameni 77 respectively, Compagno 70) and 3-2 in the return, away, on January 29, 2023 ( Alibec 56, Târnovanu 90+5a, Borza 90+6, respectively, Cordea 47, Compagno 59p).
