🔴 Aberdeen Search for Consistency
After losing each of their opening two Scottish Premiership matches of the season, Aberdeen picked up their first victory of the campaign with a 3-0 success away at Morton in the Scottish League Cup on Saturday. Despite the season still being in its infancy, Dons boss Jimmy Thelin was under a bit of pressure ahead of last weekend’s trip to Morton, so that victory will have helped steady the ship for now.
Thelin’s team did look a little toothless in attack in their Scottish Premiership games with both Hearts and Celtic, mustering up a combined total of 3 shots on target across those two matches.
⚫ FCSB Looking to Bounce Back
FCSB will have to lift themselves up off the canvas after throwing away a two-goal lead in the dying embers of Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Rapid Bucharest. That setback has left Elias Charalambous’ side languishing way down in 13th place in the Romanian SuperLiga after six rounds of matches.
That being said, FCSB have lost just one of their last four matches across all competitions, defeating Drita both home and away in the previous round of Europa League qualifying. It’s also worth noting that the Red and Blues have scored 2 or more goals in four of their last five matches.
📊 Aberdeen v FCSB H2H
Aberdeen and FCSB will do battle for the first time ever on Thursday night before reconvening for next week’s return match in the Romanian capital.
FCSB did come up against Scottish opposition in last season’s Europa League, losing 4-0 against Rangers at Ibrox during the league phase of the competition.
