After the Professional Football League (LPF) announced the full schedule for round number #27 of the Super League, FCSB decided on the schedule for the week of February 9-15, in which he has two away games to play, both at Craiovaon “Ion Oblemenco”, on the two fronts in which he remained to evolve, after the elimination from the Europa League.
At the end of the regular season, FCSB is gunning for a play-off spot, currently in 11th place in the Superliga. However, the schedule is a complicated one, especially since in addition to the six games left to be played, the champion will also play in the last group stage of the Romanian Cup.
In a single week, FCSB has to play two matches in Craiova, first in the Romanian Cup and then in the championship. Precisely for this reason, the officials of the Romanian champion decided to move to Craiova during that period and not to return to Bucharest between matches.
