FCSB vs Manchester United Tips & Preview - Red Devils to show extra quality
- FCSB hosts Manchester United in Europa League matchday eight.
- Man United in strong form, unbeaten after seven matches.
- FCSB inconsistent, struggling at home; first meeting with Man United.

FCSB vs Manchester United
FCSB host Manchester United on matchday eight of the UEFA Europa League with both teams still looking to earn direct progress into the round of 16.
Things have been smooth for the Premier League side in the competition lately while the hosts have been a little erratic. The Red Devils should have the extra quality to get the better of their Romanian rivals who have been poor at home.
FCSB Form
FCSB have picked up four wins from seven matches in the Europa League and currently occupy the final automatic slot for the round of 16. They claimed a 3-2 victory at Qarabag in their previous fixture in the competition, although the two matches preceding that win ended in 0-0 draws.
The Romanians picked up a 1-0 victory at UTA Arad in a domestic fixture last Sunday, a result that seems to suggest they do better on the road. Ilias Charalampous’ team are winless in three of their last five home matches across all competitions and were held 0-0 by Olympiacos in their previous Europa League fixture in front of their fans.
Steaua Bucharest often show some attacking quality while being shaky at the back, scoring and conceding in four of their last five matches across all competitions. Three of the fixtures in that run have produced over 2.5 goals.
Manchester United Form
In the midst of all their struggles this season, Manchester United have remained solid in the Europa League as they are unbeaten after seven matches. They have won the last four fixtures in the competition and are currently fourth in the table after claiming a 2-1 victory over Rangers last time out.
Manchester United are still coming to terms with Ruben Amorim’s tactics and have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last three Europa League matches. However, their attacking quality has seen them emerge victorious in the three fixtures, all of which have produced over 2.5 goals.
Things are also improving for Manchester United on their travels and are unbeaten in their last three away matches across all competitions. First they earned draws at Liverpool and Arsenal before claiming a 1-0 Premier League victory at Fulham last Sunday.
Head to Head
This will be the first ever meeting between Steaua Bucharest and Manchester United.
Verdict
There is still a lot to play for on Thursday with both teams needing a result to avoid the playoff round. While Steaua Bucharest have been inconsistent lately, things have been fairly smooth for Manchester United in the Europa League and the Red Devils are expected to come out on top.
Both teams have shown some quality going forward which means there should be goals in this one.
