FCSB have been in great form, remaining unbeaten in 11 games across all competitions so far. Their last match against FC Voluntari was particularly surprising, as they secured a 2-1 victory. FCSB conceded first in the 16th minute and failed to level the score in the first half. However, they managed to score twice early in the second half, in the 48th and 54th minutes, ultimately securing maximum points in the away fixture.

Currently, FCSB lead the top league standings with 61 points, holding a comfortable 10-point lead over the second-placed team. They have scored 52 goals and conceded 24. Unfortunately, Darius Olaru who has been outstanding for FCSB, will miss their next match as he received a straight red card in one of their recent games.

Petrolul have experienced mixed results in their recent matches, securing 2 victories, suffering 7 defeats, and drawing 2 in their last 10 games across all competitions. In their recent match against Univ. Craiova, Petrolul conceded goals late in the 32nd and 40th minutes but managed to pull one back in stoppage time of the first half (45+1 minute). They swiftly equalized early in the second half (47th minute). However, their hopes for maximum points were dashed when they conceded for the third time in the 59th minute. Despite their opponent missing a penalty in the 83rd minute and receiving a red card in the 90+9th minute, Petrolul failed to capitalize on these opportunities, ultimately conceding defeat.

Currently positioned 10th in the relegation zone group, Petrolul have accumulated 35 points from 28 games, scoring 28 goals and conceding 29.

In their recent clashes, they have both played 22 games. FCSB boast 11 victories, whereas Petrolul have managed to secure only 1 win, with the remaining 10 matches ending in draws. Their most recent encounter concluded in a 2-2 draw.

It appears that the scoring will be low, as evidenced by their recent six games, where less than 2 goals were scored in 4 out of 6 matches. Given this trend, FCSB are likely to secure a narrow victory in this upcoming clash. Considering Petrolul's performance in their four away matches across all competitions, where they have failed to score, it is probable that we will witness a similar outcome as they play away in this upcoming clash.
