FCSB vs Auda: Team News and Expert Analysis
The historic Bucharest club had a disappointing last season—after a couple of championship titles, they dropped to eighth place. However, they managed to rally at the end, and by defeating Botosani and local rivals Dinamo in the playoffs, earned the right to play in the Conference League. Their summer camp started with a loss to Union Saint-Gilloise. Then the new league season kicked off, and they started confidently with a 2-0 win over Argeș.
The team from Riga finished only fifth in last year’s league. Nevertheless, they won the domestic cup for just the second time in their history. Now they have improved in domestic competition, trailing only two notable neighbors—Riga and RFS. Recently, however, results have dipped: they won only one out of their last six matches, but did eliminate Liepāja in the cup.
The Romanian top club scored only 1.63 goals per match on average, conceding not much less—1.29 per match. The Latvian side has slightly better stats: they score 1.68 goals per game and concede 1.18.
