🔴 FCSB Struggling For Consistency
Overall, FCSB’s start to the season has been inconsistent, with defensive issues contributing to them dropping points and throwing away leads. The Bucharest-based club suffered their fourth league defeat of the season on Sunday when slumping to a 2-0 loss at home to newly-promoted Arges. That latest setback has left the Red and Blues languishing way down in 13th place in the Romanian SuperLiga, 14 points off top spot. However, it is worth noting that Elias Charalambous made six changes to his starting XI on Sunday, which would suggest that he had one eye on this week’s return match with Aberdeen.
There have been a combined total of five red cards shown across FCSB’s last 10 matches in all competitions, including last week’s first leg with Aberdeen.
⚫ Spirited Display From Dons
Aberdeen staged a spirited comeback to come from two goals down to earn a 2-2 draw against FCSB in last week’s first leg.
Jimmy Thelin’s team kicked off their Scottish Premiership campaign with back-to-back 2-0 losses against both Hearts and Celtic before claiming their first win of the season with a 3-0 success away at Morton in the Scottish League Cup.
The Dons should be the fresher of the two teams here after their game with Dundee United was postponed at the weekend to allow them to prepare for this week's second leg.
Aberdeen have picked up multiple bookings in three of their four matches across all competitions this season, including four during last week’s first leg with FCSB.
📊 FCSB v FCSB H2H
Last week's first leg in Scotland was the first-ever meeting between the two clubs, with Aberdeen earning a 2-2 draw thanks to a last-gasp equaliser.
