Voluntari take on the visitors FCSB in the round 28 match of Romanian Liga 1. The match will be played on Thursday, February 29th at Stadionul Anghel Iordanescu (Voluntari).
Voluntari are having a very weak season and will definitely end up outside the top six of the championship table after the regular part of the season. Currently, the team occupies the third-to-last position. However, it's not all bad for The Volunteers in terms of attack - the team from the city of Voluntari have scored 30 goals in 27 rounds, which is very good for one of the league's underdogs. In the last six matches of the championship, Voluntari managed to upset four opponents, including an away win against Cluj, who currently sit in second place in the table (1-4). I think that at least once on their home ground, The Volunteers will find the net against the leading Steaua.

For almost ten years now, Steaua have been unable to win the gold medals of the Romanian championship. However, in the current season, the army team is very close to securing the long-awaited championship title. At the moment, the capital's team confidently leads the league with a ten-point lead over their closest pursuers, CFR Cluj and Bucharest Rapid. It's not surprising that such an advantage relaxes the players. And already twice in the last four rounds, the red-blues have allowed themselves to play draws: against Farul Constanta (1-1) and Universitatea Cluj (0-0). And in the last round, even at home, Steaua struggled to beat the worst team in the championship, Botosani (3-2). Moreover, they also picked up two red cards, which could hinder them against Voluntari.
The championship leader is visiting a team that is currently third from the bottom in the table. You might think, well, just take X2 and that's it. But even bookmakers give a coefficient of around 1.8 for FCSB's success, which, in my opinion, is quite inflated. This is because Steaua has too big of a lead over its competitors in the table, and the team cannot always win forever, plus, away from home, the army team can afford to relax a little. Therefore, I won't bet on the outcome of the match, but I'll bet on the home team's goal. Voluntari are definitely missing out on the top six, so they will definitely have to fight for survival in the second part of the championship. Where every point earned will be crucial. Moreover, in recent head-to-head matches, The Volunteers have been able to upset FCSB - they have scored against them in three out of the last four recent meetings, and in the last two of them at home (1-2 and 2-2).
Prediction for the match: Both teas to score – yes.
