Match highlights
PremiumMatch analysis
FCSB's attack carries a 6.4 rating into 14 September's meeting with Petrolul Ploiesti, yet Superior still prices Under 3.5 goals at 1.44, a 58 percent call from the model, after a 5-0 romp was followed immediately by a 1-2 defeat.
FCSB carry the higher attack rating into this one
FCSB's attack is rated 6.4 by the model against a defence mark of 6.2 for the same side, figures that describe a team capable of goals without being especially clinical in front of them recently. Petrolul Ploiesti carry no published rating this cycle; their own recent matches, a 2-0 win and a 1-0 defeat, point to a side built more around limiting chances than creating them.
FCSB have won two of the last three meetings comfortably
FCSB have won two of their last three meetings with Petrolul, including a 3-1 win in April, while the other finished level at 1-1. Between them the two sides are averaging 3.4 combined goals a game this season, a number close enough to this Under 3.5 line that recent head to head results still matter.
FCSB scored five in their last away win
FCSB's most recent away win finished 5-0 at Arges Pitesti, proof their attack can produce a total well clear of this line when the game opens up. Petrolul have shown defensive lapses of their own, including that 0-1 loss at Cluj, so if FCSB carry that scoring form into a home fixture against a similar level of opponent, four goals or more remains the clearest way this Under 3.5 is beaten.
