At the National Arena in Bucharest on 23 October 2025, FCSB host Bologna in a Europa League tie where the visitors arrive on a streak of wins while the hosts are likely to prioritize caution.
Tight Script Favours the Under
Selection: Under 2.5 Goals. Bologna’s recent upturn has leaned on compact structure and control rather than chaos, while FCSB - respecting the matchup - are unlikely to open up early. The blend points toward a slower tempo, limited chance quality, and a scoreline that stays narrow.
FCSB: Pragmatism First
Although they’ve already banked a group-stage win, FCSB haven’t convinced consistently. Expect a deeper block, conservative fullbacks, and a focus on set plays and counters - useful for keeping things close but not for producing a shootout.
Bologna: Form with Restraint
The Italians are stringing victories together across competitions by managing phases, pressing selectively, and minimizing exposure in transition. In Europe, that approach typically becomes even more measured away from home.
