FCSB have been on a remarkable attacking spree this season, losing only 2 out of their 17 matches in the league. They secured victory in 11 matches and drew 4, with their latest game resulting in a 1-0 win against Din. Bucuresti with a 52nd-minute  goal doing the magic.

FCSB currently hold the 1st position in the league with an impressive 37 points from 17 matches. They've netted 31 goals and conceded only 16 times.

Darius Olaru has been in superb form for FCSB scoring 7 goals and providing 2 assists. Another standout player is Florinel Coman, also a forward, who has found the back of the net 6 times and contributed an impressive 6 assists. These two players have undoubtedly been crucial to FCSB's success this season.

Otelul have been in commendable form this season, with just 3 losses in their last 18 matches across all competitions. They managed to secure 10 draws and clinched victory in 5 encounters. However, their recent match against Univ. Craiova ended in a 1-3 defeat.

In the first half, Otelul was awarded a penalty, skillfully converted in the 20th minute to take the lead. The second half proved challenging, unfortunately, they conceded an early goal in the 53rd minute, leveling the score, and 2 late goals in the 80th and 83rd minutes, ultimately costing them the match they gave all maximum points away.

Currently positioned at 9th in the relegation zone group, Otelul have earned 20 points from 17 matches, finding the back of the net 17 times while conceding the same.

Over the past 10 games between these 2 sides, the duels between FCSB and Otelul have been a continuous source of excitement. FCSB have 4 wins, Otelul have 1 win and 5 have ended in draws.

FCSB have shown great command in their recent games, and I see them getting an easy win here even before the first 45 minutes. Otelul are known much for their defensive strength, so I don’t see them scoring in this clash that will see minimal goal for a narrow win for the hosts.
