FCSB vs Corvinul Hunedoara Betting Tips: FCSB TO WIN

FCSB will be gunning for their seventh Romanian Super Cup trophy thanks to a successful domestic campaign last season that saw them wrap up a record 28th title with three rounds to go, reclaiming the national throne after a nine-year wait.

Looking to put silverware from this competition to their trophy cabinet for the first time since 2013, the Red and Blues have build strong momentum through the pre-season period, with their eight-goal mauling of CSV Apeldoorn followed by a narrow 2-1 victory over Almere.

The last time the capital giants had a shot at lifting the Super Cup trophy was four years ago, when CFR Cluj beated over them in a penalty shootout (1-4), but now they enter as heavy favorites, although being hampered by the absence of several key players who are away on national duty with Romania at Euro 2024.

Standing in their way are second-tier side Corvinul Hunedoara, who set up this showpiece showdown by staging a sensation in the Romanian Cup last season, overcoming Otelul Galati 3-2 in a nail-biting penalty shootout to claim their first-ever major trophy.

Despite locking up the 2023-24 campaign in second place in Liga II, the Ravens were denied promotion due to absurd regulations by the Romanian Football Federation, but they are excited to represent their country in UEFA competitions as winners of last season's national cup.

Ahead of Thursday's Super Cup final, the Hunedoara-based club fell short in boosting morale during two June warm-up matches, going down 0-2 against newly-crowned Slovenian champions NK Celje before succumbing to the same scoreline against Bosnia's fresh title holders Borac Banja Luka.

Three years ago, the two sides clashed in the Romanian Cup, delivering an unforgettable match that ended with FCSB clinching a dramatic eight-goal victory, despite squandering a three-goal lead in regular time. This time around, we expect the Red and Blues to avoid any uncertainties and smoothly get the job done, lifting the long-awaited national cup trophy after 11 years!
