The UEFA Conference League qualifier match between FCSB and CSKA Sofia will take place at Stadionul Arcul de Triumf on Friday at 12:00 am IST.
On Friday (August 3), FCSB will welcome CSKA Sofia to the Stadionul Arcul de Triumf for the second qualifying round of the UEFA Europa Conference League. The previous encounter saw FCSB claim a 1-0 victory, with Florinel Coman securing the decisive goal in the 28th minute. This victory marked FCSB’s fourth consecutive win across various competitions and their third victory in five matches played at home.
Ros-albastrii secured their spot in the second qualifying round by securing a second-place finish in the Romanian top-flight play-off round during the previous season. This marks their third appearance in the Europa Conference League, having previously made it to the group stage in the last edition. On the other hand, Sofia’s ambitions were curtailed by FCSB in the first leg. However, they can draw confidence from their away performance as they have lost only once in their last five away matches, registering three wins.
Florinel Coman aims to deliver another exceptional display, while FCSB’s leading goal-scorer, Andrea Compagno, who finished second in the league’s top scorers list with 20 goals last season, is eager to make an impact as well. On the other hand, Duckens Nazon and Brayan Moreno, who scored 18 and nine goals respectively for Sofia last season, along with Thibaut Vion, who provided nine assists, pose as the primary attacking threats for their team. With their previous away win, FCSB holds a strong position and are likely to qualify for the next round.
