FCSB

Voluntari's home record (2‑2‑2) is modest but they concede fewer goals at home (1.3 per game) than FCSB do away (1.6). FCSB have failed to score in three of their last five away outings and average only 0.6 goals per away game. Historically FCSB dominate the head‑to‑head, but they have not won away in the last nine meetings and the most recent friendly ended 3‑0. The combination of Voluntari's relative defensive stability at home and FCSB's poor away attacking output suggests Voluntari are unlikely to lose, while the low scoring trends point to an under‑2.5 goal game.

Universitatea Craiova have established strong home form this season, winning four of five league games at home and allowing just two goals. FCSB have managed only one win in their four away league matches and have been held winless in their last five trips to Craiova, where the hosts have won twice and drawn three times.

FCSB hold a commanding head-to-head record against Petrolul Ploiesti, having avoided defeat in all nine previous encounters with five victories and four draws. Petrolul have lost two of their four away matches this season and have conceded two goals per game on the road, making FCSB the more stable side to back with the draw refund security in place.

FCSB have averaged exactly 2.0 goals per game across their four home league fixtures this season, scoring eight times in total. Meanwhile, Petrolul Ploiesti have conceded eight goals in four away games without keeping a single clean sheet on their travels, allowing an average of two goals per away match.

Dinamo Bucuresti are unbeaten in their last five league outings with three wins and two draws, having amassed a 100 percent winning record across their three home matches this season. With fourteen goals scored overall and key contributor D. Armstrong posting three goals and four assists, Dinamo hold the offensive edge over an FCSB side that has lost two of its last five fixtures. While FCSB hold an impressive historical record of eight wins in the last ten head-to-head clashes, Dinamo's current domestic form and home goal differential of plus nine strongly support their probability of taking at least a point.

FCSB hold the upper hand in the overall head-to-head record, winning six of the past ten matches against Arges Pitesti, including a 2-0 victory in July 2026. While both sides have struggled for victories in their most recent pair of fixtures, FCSB's historical edge in this matchup supports their ability to take at least a point from this cup fixture.

A straight match winner selection is justified by an overwhelming multi-signal mismatch across league standing, home/away splits, and head-to-head history. FCSB sit 2nd in the table and are unbeaten at home (2 wins, 1 draw), whereas Uta Arad are 15th, winless overall (0-3-3), and have lost all three away matches this season (0-0-3 with a 1:7 goal difference). Furthermore, FCSB have won all four head-to-head home encounters in the data record without conceding a single goal.
