Hermannstadt vs FCSB Prediction: FCSB bounce back to winning ways

Hermannstadt and FCSB will settle scores at the Stadionul Municipal on Sunday in round 7 of the Romania Liga I. FCSB are still finding it hard to concentrate in the league, possibly due to continental engagement. How soon will they get their forms back in the league? Below are previews, H2H, expert betting tips, and odds.

When everything seemed to be returning to normalcy for Hermannstadt after recording a 2-1 win over Botosani, they returned to their winless run in their last game, suffering 3-2 against Farul Constanta. They have only seen one win this season and remain winless in the other five games (2 draws and three losses). However, they are unbeaten at home with a win and two draws this season. The Sibiu People are 14th on the table with 5 points in 6 games, scoring six goals and conceding 9. Vahid Selimovic (wrist fracture) and Jovan Marković (meniscus tear) are ruled out of this clash.

FCSB were held to a 1-1 draw in their last game against LASK in the first leg of the Europa League qualification final. However, they haven’t performed well in the league, winning one and drawing two of the last five matches. They were even defeated 1-0 by Poli lasi in their previous league outing, where Darius Olaru was sent off 36 minutes into the game. Still, FCSB dominated the game with ten men but couldn’t perform well in the final third. They remain winless in all competitions in the last three games. They sit 13th on the table with 5 points in 5 games, scoring six goals and conceding 8.

Both sides have met 12 times in their history. Hermannstadt won 2, FCSB won 8, and 2 ended in draws. The last game between them ended a 3-0 win for FCSB. Roș-albaștrii are unbeaten against Hermannstadt in their previous four meetings.

FCSB have not been great in the league this season, but they have dominated every game. However, with the season still young, the time is now for them to get themselves back and fight for wins. With this, I expect the Red and Blues to bounce back to winning ways in this game.
