FCSB v Poli Iași, the Romanian League 6th round tie, is scheduled for Sunday, August 20 at 9:30 p.m. at the National Arena in Bucharest and will be broadcast live on Digi Sport 1, Orange Sport 1 and Prima Sport 1.

FCSB, relegated from Europe but with back-to-back championship wins, and Poli Iasi, one of the three newly promoted teams, met in one of the most exciting games of the 6th stage of the Super League.

FCSB have 12 points accumulated from four matches played so far (and moved the away game against Hermannstadt to the 5th stage) and can return to the 1st place after defeating Poli Iasi (current leader – University of Craiova, with 14 points from six matches).

Meanwhile, FCSB were eliminated in the third preliminary round of the Conference League by Nordsjaellansd after 0-0 in Bucharest and 0-2 in Faroum, Denmark, so from now on they will focus on only two domestic competitions, the Super League and the Romanian Cup.

After the exit from Europe, FCSB was left without three footballers Malcom Ejuma (left for Bari), Andrej Kordea (already agreed with a team from the Persian Gulf) and Valentin Gheorghe (officially included in the transfer list), but in the match against Poli V Iasi they expect the debut of the South African central defender Siyabonga Ngezana, brought in from Kaizer Chiefs for €600,000.

“There is no question of changing the coach. Am I mocking the team? They are in 1st place, they have four wins in four matches! There is no question of changing the coach! I like the way the team is playing,” Gigi Bekali said, referring to rumors of possible release of Elias Charalambous.

Poli Iasi has just three points from the first five stages, accumulated after an unexpected victory at the ground of the champion Farul, and returns to the capital after two consecutive defeats, 0-1 away against UTA and 1-4 at home against the University of Craiova.

The expected start of the championship caused a real earthquake at the team level, when eight players were released: Sorin Sherban, Dumitru Keleadnik, Risto Jankov, Katalin Hlistei, Shaion Harrison, Alexandra Rezvan Mogos, Crist Cuadio and Bohdan Istratie.

“We are also going through a bad period. The game gives us hope, but the results don’t match what we showed on the pitch. We had the misfortune of facing experienced, mature teams who exploited our mistakes. learn from mistakes and accumulate points. We did not despair, the championship is just at the beginning, the rating is tight,” said Leo Gruzavu, the coach of “Poli Iasi”.

The two teams last met in the 2020-2021 First League regular season, when they split the wins, each managing to give the advantage on their home field, with Poli Iași in the round with a score of 5-2 and FCSB in the return, with a score of 3-1.
