Liga 2 brings FC Bacău and CSA Steaua București together, with both sides looking to pick up points in the second tier. CheckLive favours the home side, giving FC Bacău a 77% win probability — a strong signal, though far from a lock. The two teams arrive here in different sorts of form.
FC Bacău have had a bumpy run: a 2-3 loss to SC Popești-Leordeni, a 3-0 win over CSL Ștefănești, and a 4-0 friendly success against ACS KSE Targu Secuiesc, but also defeats to CS Gloria 2018 and SC Oțelul Galați. CSA Steaua București lost their last two Liga 2 games, 1-2 to both SCM Râmnicu Vâlcea and CSM Slatina, and their friendly results have been mixed — a 1-0 win over SC Popești-Leordeni, a 0-4 loss to SCM Râmnicu Vâlcea, and a 3-0 win over CS Tunari.
The head-to-head is a single meeting: FC Bacău won 3-2 in Liga 2 back in December. That was a tight game, and with Steaua's recent league form unconvincing, the key is whether they can tighten up at the back. CheckLive's 77% points towards a home win, but given how close the previous meeting was, a draw or an away result would not be a surprise.
