FCSB will entertain Silkeborg at the National Arena Stadium in the UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday (October 13).
The hosts are bottom of Group B after managing only a point from three games. Their prospects for qualification are pretty slim, as they need to win their remaining games. However, FCSB are unlikely to do that, having a single point after three games, scoring twice and conceding eight times.
FCSB were crushed by Silkeborg 5-0 on matchday three last week. Three first-team defenders missed the game due to injury and are unlikely to be available against Silkeborg. However, Ros-albastrii survived their league clash with Petrolul 2-0, which could augur well for their victory hopes in the upcoming game.
The visitors have won one of their three games and are third behind leaders West Ham (9 points) and second-placed Anderlecht (4 points). They suffered defeats in their first two games before thumping FCSB last week. Silkeborg will look to build on that win.
The Danish side have a few reported injury issues as well, with attacking midfielder Niclas Holm Pedersen and left-back team captain Gustav Dahl sidelined. Those absentees didn’t have much impact in their last league game against OB though, which ended in a 1-1 draw away.
