General match analysis

FCSB have a clear advantage at home, averaging 2 goals and an xG of 2,20, while Oţelul average 1 goal and 0,97 xG away from home. The hosts average 20,2 shots at home, including 7 on target, compared with 8,75 shots and 2,25 on target for the visitors away, pointing to more chances for FCSB. Oţelul have failed to win any of their four away matches, have drawn a blank in half of them, and concede an average of 2 goals on the road. FCSB also have defensive issues, conceding an average of 1,8 goals at home and 12 across their last five matches, so a home win is not a certainty. Both teams have won only one of their last five matches, but FCSB’s advantage in the quality of chances they create supports backing the hosts.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

BTTS - Yes landed in 67% of FCSB matches and 50% of Oţelul's games, giving a slight edge to the scenario in which both teams score. FCSB average 1.17 goals, while the visitors concede 2.00 per match and are yet to keep a clean sheet, making a home goal seem likely. Oţelul's chances are boosted by the fact that FCSB concede an average of 1.17 goals per game this season and as many as 2.4 across their last five matches, while the visitors' recent xG stands at 1.59. However, a significant drawback for the BTTS - Yes pick is that Oţelul failed to score in 50% of their matches, and BTTS landed in only 40% of their last five games. Therefore, the edge for BTTS - Yes is marginal, despite clear defensive weaknesses on both sides.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

FCSB average 1.17 goals per game this season, but have raised that average to 1.8 over their last 5 matches, with an xG of 1.67. Oţelul concede an average of 2.0 goals, while their opponents generate an xG of 1.72, which bodes well for the home side to score. The visitors average 1.0 goal, but FCSB have conceded 12 goals in their last 5 matches, making an Oţelul goal possible as well. At least 2 goals were scored in 67% of FCSB matches and 75% of Oţelul matches, while each of FCSB's last 5 games ended with at least 3 goals. Therefore, Over 1.5 is the strongest pick; with a predicted total of 2.83 goals, it has a clearer edge than the more demanding Over 2.5.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

A draw at half-time followed by a FCSB win appears the most likely outcome: the hosts were level at the break in 3 of their 6 home matches and averaged just 0.17 goals before half-time. However, this scenario is not without risk early on, as Oţelul were trailing at half-time in 3 of their 4 away fixtures. FCSB’s prospects of taking control after the break are supported by their average of 1.0 goals scored in second halves, while the visitors concede 1.0 goal on average in that period. FCSB also create more chances: their average xG is 1.58 compared with Oţelul’s 0.97, and they record 4.5 shots on target per game against 2.25. The visitors have won none of their 4 away matches and concede an average of 2.0 goals in them, so despite the likelihood of a cautious first half, the hosts have the stronger chance of securing the final victory.
