FCSB vs Petrolul Ploiesti prediction

FCSB host Petrolul Ploiesti in Liga I round nine, looking to close the four-point gap separating the two sides in the championship group positions. The hosts sit sixth with 11 points from eight games, scoring 11 goals while conceding 10. At home, FCSB have been productive going forward with eight goals in four matches, averaging two per fixture, but they have also conceded seven times in those four outings.

Petrolul Ploiesti enter the matchday third in the standings on 15 points, having won five and lost three of their eight league encounters without recording a single draw. While they have maintained a solid defensive record at home, their away fixtures have proven significantly more open, conceding eight goals across four road games and keeping zero clean sheets.

Historical meetings between these sides heavily favour FCSB, who remain unbeaten across their last nine head-to-head fixtures with five wins and four draws. Petrolul have never won at FCSB across five documented visits, managing two draws and suffering three defeats, including a 3-1 loss in their most recent meeting in April 2026.
