No winner again after 90 minutes?

After the 2-2 draw in the first leg between the Romanians from Bucharest and the Scots from Aberdeen, the upcoming second leg for a ticket to the Europa League is shaping up to be another close contest. However, the hosts have more personnel concerns than their opponents.

They will have to do without striker Juri Cisotti, who received a red card in the first leg. In addition, the 2-2 draw in the first leg felt more like a defeat for them at the final whistle. After all, the Romanians had let a 2-0 lead slip away.

Nevertheless, the FCSB vs. Aberdeen tip is once again a draw, as we consider the teams to be at a very similar level of play. The nature of the match also suggests a draw – both teams will want to avoid falling behind in this decisive game.

We therefore expect two rather defensively minded teams, which is why we would again recommend FCSB vs. Aberdeen odds of a maximum of two goals.

In offense, the home side will rely even more heavily on Daniel Bîrligea due to the absence of Cisotti. The striker has been in good form for weeks. He has scored three goals in the last three Europa League qualifying games and has also found the net in the league! What’s more, Bîrligea will be well rested, as he was given a break in the national league game against Arges at the weekend.

FCSB – Aberdeen Head-to-head record

Last week’s draw between the Romanians and the Scots was also the first meeting between the two clubs. For the upcoming rematch between FCSB and Aberdeen in the Romanian capital, the betting odds are now moderately in favor of the home side.

FCSB – Aberdeen Tip

The bookmakers have the Romanians as slight favorites, but the betting base sees the starting position as more balanced. The first leg ended in a draw and already showed that the teams are evenly matched. In what is now the decisive second leg, both clubs will be keen to avoid falling behind, which is why we expect a less open game than the first leg.

In view of these points, the FCSB vs. Aberdeen prediction is that no decision will have been made after 90 minutes and that the winner will only secure their ticket to the Europa League in extra time or a penalty shootout.
