AI match recap
Craiova arrive with momentum, a strong home record and successive clean-sheet wins, while FCSB are trying to halt an uneven league spell. The decisive issue is FCSB’s defensive availability: the reported central-defensive absences would make a difficult away assignment substantially harder. Craiova have the wing-back structure and runners to turn sustained pressure into chances, but this rivalry has often produced cautious, narrow matches. Confirmed lineups matter more than usual because the available team news is inconsistent.
Head-to-head analysis
This is a historically tight matchup: the last ten meetings contain several one-goal games and multiple clean sheets. Craiova won the most recent league encounter at Ion Oblemenco, while the latest cup meeting there finished level.
