Bihor Oradea averages 1.5 goals at home, while CSA Steaua concedes as many as 2.5 goals away, which strongly supports a goal for the hosts.

In their last five matches, Steaua improved their output to 1.4 goals and recorded BTTS in 80% of games, while the hosts averaged 1.8 goals. The BTTS signal is weakened by the fact that Bihor conceded only 1.0 goal per game in their last five matches, with 0.96 xG allowed to opponents, so the scenario involving goals from both sides has only a slight edge. BTTS - Yes remains more likely, however, because the visitors’ very poor defensive record and the absence of clean sheets for either side increase the chance of a result in which both teams score.

Bihor Oradea averages 1.5 goals at home, while Steaua concedes as many as 2.5 goals per away match, which clearly strengthens the outlook for home-team goals.

The strongest selection is Over 1.5 goals, as both teams have had at least 2 goals in all of their matches so far this season, while the visitors’ weak defense further reduces the risk of a low-scoring game.
