Prediction: FCSB vs FC Botosani Betting Tips

FCSB faces FC Botosani in a crucial Liga I fixture on February 5, 2026, at Arena Nationala, Bucharest. The home team will look to extend their recent good form, having won 60% of their last 5 games. FC Botosani, last seen winning convincingly, will aim to upset the form and secure valuable points.

FCSB’s squad features young talent like D. Popa and Luca Ilie, alongside experienced players like D. Alibec. FC Botosani relies on their resilient defensive line, with key players like R. Creț and N. Ilaș, aiming to frustrate the home side. No major injuries are reported for either team.

If FCSB scores first in the match at Arena Nationala, expect a game with increased attacking tempo from the home side to consolidate an early lead. Should the match be level at halftime, FCSB’s recent form suggests they have the resilience to push for victory in the second half. Conversely, an early goal from FC Botosani could see them confidently defend and play on the counter, especially with their strong recent defensive records.

FCSB’s tactical setup with a 4-2-3-1 formation emphasizes possession and quick counter-attacks, which should translate into over 1.5 goals in the first half. Defensively, they are solid but vulnerable early, creating opportunities for FC Botosani to capitalize on counters, especially if they tighten their formation and focus on set-piece opportunities.
