FCSB vs Hunedoara Prediction: Both sides hope to start the season with a silverware

Last season's league winners, FCSB and the league cup winners, Hunedoara, will settle scores in this season’s Romania Super Cup at the Steaua Stadium on Thursday. Both sides have met once in their history, and the clash ended in a 3-3 draw after 90 minutes. Can we expect a different result here? Below are previews, H2H, expert betting tips, and odds.

FCSB won the 2023/2024 Romania league to earn a place in this Super Cup fixture, and their preseason performances have been great, winning all the two games played. They first defeated CSV Apeldoorn 8-0 before getting a 2-1 win against Almere City. They have never lost a match against Hunedoara in their history. As the home team, FCSB have lost one of their last 11 games. They have also failed to score in just one of their last 11 home games.

Hunedoara took everyone by surprise last season with the Romania Cup win over Otelu. They not only won the League Cup or gained a chance in this Super Cup, but they also booked a place in the qualification round of the Europa League. However, they have lost all their two games in the preseason. Hunedoara performances outside their home stadium have been poor. They are without a win in their last nine away games. 

Both sides have only met once in their history. The game ended 3-3 in regular time before FCSB got a 5-3 win in the extra time.

FCSB have all it takes to win this clash easily. They are the best team in the Romania league at the moment, and I expect them to get a win here. Hunedoara conceded a goal in their last eight matches and conceded two or more in their previous four games. However, Hunedoara will score in this clash.
