Aberdeen had a League Cup reprieve following a tough start to the season, and this time they face an even tougher assignment. The Scots will welcome FC Steaua Bucharest in the first leg of the Europa League playoff round. We have a prediction for this match below.
Aberdeen’s season opened with back-to-back defeats at Hearts and against Celtic. While those were really tough outings, failure to score in them was concerning.
They did recover in their latest match, against much weaker opposition, beating Morton 3-0 in the League Cup. Winners of the 2025 Scottish Cup, Aberdeen haven't registered many wins competitively. Their last eight outings produced just two wins.
FCSB started their European campaign much earlier, in the Champions League. However, defeat to Shkendija saw them drop into the Europa League, where they’ve since eliminated Drita.
This should be another manageable opponent for the Romanian side, with the advantage of having played more competitive matches this season. FCSB didn’t have the best preps for this game though.
Their last outing was another show of their defensive weaknesses as they let go of a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 with Rapid Bucharest. Such defending accounts for much of their recent run of just three wins in 11 matches. In their 13 matches this season, they have one clean sheet.

Our Aberdeen vs FCSB Prediction
FCSB reached the round of 16 in the Europa League last season and will be gunning for more than that this time. It means they have to go past Aberdeen, which shouldn’t be a tough task given their pedigree. However, they haven't been at their best defensively and their hosts will want to take advantage of that here.
While we are backing Aberdeen to rise from their slow start in terms of attack, beating FCSB at the moment may prove a tough task. Our prediction for Aberdeen v FCSB is for over 2.5 goals and both teams to score.
