UPDATE at 18:00 » How does the lawn at the National Arena look like
Oppressive silence in the perimeter of the National Arena before the match between FCSB and Metaloglobus. The day of the schedule, the opponent without scope, the cold weather, but especially the series of modest results of the red-blues in the last period are not arguments to get the world out of the houses.
To grab a place in the play-offs, FCSB needs a perfect run at the end of the season and, in addition, a favorable game of results. A complicated scenario, which did not rekindle the enthusiasm of the supporters. It is estimated that there will be no more than 2,000 spectators in the stands of the country's largest stadium.
In the round, Metaloglobus produced one of the surprises of the championship, winning 2-1 in Clinceni.
Even the condition of the turf does not help shape a football spectacle. After the snowfall of the last few days and after the Rapid – Dinamo derby, played on Saturday evening, the playing surface is in decent conditions.
