FCSB

FCSB are certainly on a winning streak and will be full of confidence as they face Cluj in the upcoming match. Their recent success, including the thrilling 3-2 victory against CSKA 1948 in the Conference League Qualifiers, has given them momentum and belief in their abilities.

Having won all three of their league games this season, scoring 7 goals and conceding only 2, FCSB sit at the top of the table with a perfect record of 9 points. Their strong start to the season has made them the team to beat, and they will be eager to continue their winning form against Cluj.

The team has shown promising performances, securing 2 wins and a draw so far. Their attacking prowess is evident, having scored 6 goals in the league while conceding only 2.
