FCSB vs Nordsjaelland Prediction, Betting Tips & Match Preview

FCSB vs Nordsjaelland
UEFA Conference League Qualification
Date: 10 August 2023, Thursday
Kick-off at 19:30 UK / 20:30 CET
Venue: Stadionul Arcul de Triumf (Bucharest).

Both FCSB and Nordsjaelland will be looking to translate their extraordinary domestic league form to the continental competition on Thursday evening when the two outfits take on each other in the UEFA Conference League third qualifying round.

FCSB sit atop the Romanian Liga I standings with four wins in four outings. They’ve also beaten Bulgarian side CSKA 1948 Sofia both home and away in the previous Conference League qualifying round to make it six wins in six competitive games this summer.

The rock-solid defensive line has been the main catalyst to FCSB’s recent successes. The Romanians kept their net untouched in three of the previous four outings across competitions.

The run includes a big 1-0 win in the Romanian Liga I derby on Sunday against CFR Cluj in Bucharest.

FCSB’s stern back line will be on a serious test on Thursday against Nordsjaelland who are scoring for fun at the start of the new season in Danish Superliga.

The visitors have bagged at least three goals in each of three opening outings of the new domestic league campaign.

They have prolonged their extraordinary attacking form on Sunday, completing a second-half comeback in a 3-1 success against Brondby at Right to Dream Park in Farum.

Ernest Nuamah is enjoying a fabulous run of form with four goals in three Superliga games this term. He delivered a goal and an assist on Sunday against Brondby.

Nordsjaelland are back in Europe for the first time since 2018/19 when they were stopped by Partizan Belgrade in the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round.

FCSB vs Nordsjaelland Prediction

FCSB are very tough to break down these days and we expect them to keep this a low-scoring tie despite Nordsjaelland’s impressive attacking form at the start of the season. We expect a tense and nervous affair with the Under 2.5 goals FT pick providing value at the 1.80 odds.

As for the outcome, we fancy the hosts who have played the Conference League group phase last year and who are on a phenomenal spell of form at the start of the new season. The home win is priced up at the 2.50 odds.

• Under 2.5 goals FT @ 1.80 (4/5)

• FCSB to win @ 2.50 (6/4) odd.
