This is the second leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League second qualifying round between FK Auda and FCSB. CheckLive does not name a favourite for the tie, underlining how finely balanced the contest is after the first leg. Both sides have plenty at stake as Auda look to protect a one-goal lead and FCSB aim to turn the tie around.
FK Auda's recent run includes three wins, a draw and a defeat. They beat BFC Daugava Daugavpils 1-0, won the first leg against FCSB 3-2, and followed that with a 1-0 cup win over FK Liepaja. They also drew 1-1 with RFS and lost 0-2 to Riga FC. FCSB have lost two of their last five: the first leg defeat to Auda and a 0-4 friendly loss to Royale Union Saint-Gilloise. However, they also claimed league wins over FC Argeş (2-0), FC Dinamo București (2-1) and FC Botoșani (4-3).
The sides have met only once before, that first leg where FK Auda won 3-2 away. That slender advantage puts Auda in control of the aggregate score. The key factor will be whether FCSB can overcome that deficit on the road, but a draw of any kind would be enough for Auda to progress.
