Team News

FC FCSB
RFS
  • Mihai Lixandru and Siyabonga Ngezana are both sidelined for Thursday's game.
  • RFS are sweating on the fitness of no fewer than four players, with Darko Lemajic, Emerson Deocleciano, Ismael Diomande and Petr Mares doubts.

Prediction

  • FC FCSB come into their welcome of RFS unbeaten in four, though they have failed to win their last two. The Romanian side have won only two of their last eight in all competitions.
  • Conversely, RFS are in great form, winning nine of their last 10, with the sole blip on the record book a 0-0 draw at Riga.
  • RFS will play their first ever Europa League match this week, but they may struggle against their Romanian counterparts.
