Petrolul finished ninth last season and started the new one with a goalless draw as a guest against Otelul last week. Now they have a home game, but against the champion FCSB. However, Petrolul will once again look to get something out of the match, as they did last season. Back then, both of their matches against FCSB ended in a draw.
And FCSB also ended in a draw in the first roundChampion FCSB started the new season by winning the Romanian Super Cup. However, in the first round of the championship, they only managed a 1-1 draw at home against Hermannstadt. Meanwhile, they also started the Champions League qualifiers, where they had to fight against Andorran team Inter Escaldes. They lost 1-2 as guests, but progressed after a 3-1 win at home in the first match. Next Tuesday, another European match awaits the team.
Prediction: 1X double chancePetrolul is a typical mid-table team, but they can once again make it difficult for the champions, as they did last season. Furthermore, FCSB was not convincing in the first round, nor in their match last week, and the Champions League qualifiers might be a priority for the team at this stage.
