No one anticipated Otelul to be fighting relegation, but after losing 10 of their last 11 games, and having won only once at home all season, that is exactly what they find themselves doing. FCSB, who are vying for the title in Romania, have won seven of their last 10 matches in the cup competition. During the current league season, Otelul has scored an average of three goals per game. The home side will be hoping to go into next round of the cup competition, even though it does not seems feasible.

FCSB have been in fantastic form as of late, accumulating some points out of a possible 27, and it is notable that in all nine of their matches during this period, they have allowed three goals or fewer. Similar trends have been seen in each of the last nine Otelul home games at this level. Therefore, it would be quite surprising if this crucial matchup did not include under 3.5 goals. They seem to be clear favorite in this encounter.

Otelul and FCSB have a relatively decent head-to-head history, as they have met 22 times in the recent seasons, with Otelul winning 4 games and FCSB winning 15 games. Otelul has a better overall head-to-head record. A total of three of the games were decided by a draw.
