FCSB vs RFS Prediction and Betting Tips | September 26, 2024 

FCSB host RFS at the National Arena on Thursday in their UEFA Europa League opener. The hosts have had a disappointing start to their league campaign, sitting 12 points away from the top as they hope to find better luck in the continent.

FCSB drew 1-1 with Petrolul Ploiesti in their last match. They took an early lead via an Alexandru Baluta strike before a red card to Mihai Popescu in the first half was followed by Petrolul's injury time equaliser.

RFS, meanwhile, are enjoying a strong run of form, beating Riga 2-1 in their last match. Rostand Ndjiki and Haruna Ndjie got on the scoresheet in the second half as the Europa League debutants advanced to the Latvian Cup final for a fourth straight season.

FCSB vs RFS Prediction

FCSB are on a run of back-to-back draws and have won just two of their last eight games across competitions. They have, however, picked up two wins and a draw from their last three home matches.

RFS, meanwhile, are on a five-game winning streak and are undefeated since July. The sheer gulf in class and quality between the two teams could see the visitors lose, though.

Prediction: FCSB 2-1 RFS
