Botoşani were held to a goalless draw in their last game against Otelul. Zoran Mitrov thought he had scored in the 70th minute for Botoşani, but the VAR ruled it out due to offside. However, Rijad Saduku was sent off in the 84th minute of the game. They remain winless in their last 5 games and 9 of their last 10. They sit 14th on the table with 13 points in 15 games, scoring 13 goals and conceding 22. Due to injuries, Luka Kukic and Romario Benzar will miss this game.

FCSB got a 2-1 win over U. Cluj in their last game before the break. Daniel Birligea got a brace before Vladislav Blanuta got a consolation goal for U. Cluj. The defending champions are unbeaten in their last 5 games and 14 of their last 15 in all competitions. They are 6th on the table with 24 points in 15 games, scoring 20 goals and conceding 17.

Baba Alhassan and Joyskim Dawa are back in the team after missing out against U. Cluj due to suspension. However, Adrian Sut will miss this game after receiving a red card in their last game. Valentin Cretu is also suspended after receiving his 4th yellow card of the season. Due to injuries, Florin Tanase and Mihai Lixandru are ruled out, while Octavian Popescu is doubtful for this game.

Botosani — Giannis Anestis, Charles Petro, Patricio Matricardi, Andrei George Miron, Adams Friday, Aldair, Francisco Junior, Michael Pavlovic, Eduard Florescu, Adrian Chica-Rosa, Stefan Bodisteanu.

FCSB — Stefan Tarnovanu, Alexandru Pantea, Siyabonga Ngezana, Joyskim Dawa, Risto Radunovic, Malcom Edjouma, Alexandru Musi, Darius Olaru, Marius Stefanescu, Daniel Birligea, David Miculescu.

Botosani have not had it so smoothly in their last games, remaining winless in their last 5 games. However, FCSB have only lost once in their last 15 games. No doubt, they have the upper hand in this game, and my money is on them to get the win right from the first 45 minutes of the game. Moreover, FCSB have won these two sides' last 11 head-to-head games. Also, I think FCSB will keep a clean sheet. Botosani failed to score in each of their last 3 games.
