Astra Giurgiu vs FCSB Football Club will meet on 05.08.2019, in the 4th stage of League 1, at the “Marin Anastasovici” stadium in Giurgiu.
Astra Giurgiu checked the first victory only in the third stage
Astra Giurgiu achieved the first success of the regular season only in the third stage, when he defeated it with a 2-1 score on FC Voluntari. Ilfovenii opened the scoring in the 10th minute through Mihai Căpăţână, but the team led by Dan Alexa equalized before the break through Denis Alibec (42) and returned the result in the second half through Valentin Gheorgh (56), who was in the second. In the first stage, the “black devils” finished at home, 2-2 with FC Botosani (Valentin Gheorghe 41, David Tiram 73 – Jonathan Rodríguez 21 penalty, Hervin Ongenda 26), and in the second stage they lost by 1 -0 in front of CSM Politehnica Iasi (Cosmin Frăsinescu 43). There will be a very difficult program for “black and white” who will play with FCSB (home), Gaz Metan Mediaş (away), FC Viitorul (home), Craiova University (away) and CFR Cluj (home).
- Probable team Astra Giurgiu (4-3-3): Kitanov – D. Graur, C. Dima, Graovac, Radunović – G. Simion, Crepulja, V. Gheorghe – Fl. Matei, Alibec, Bègue
Bogdan Andone resigned after his failure with FC Alashkert
FCSB Football Club went through a delicate moment in the return match with FC Alashkert in the preliminary round of the Europa League, when the Armenians were 3-1 at the break and an extra man, but in the end the “blue-reds” still have scored a goal in the second half and obtained the qualification (Florin Tănase 10 penalty, Florinel Coman 59 – Gustavo Marmentini 24, 28 penalty, Tiago Galvão 45). After this match, coach Bogdan Andone resigned, because his team came after a 0-0 away with Sepsi Sfântu Gheorghe and a 0-2 at home with FC Botoșani (Răzvan Andronic 18, Hervin Ongenda 40). There will be a tough match to go with Astra Giurgiu, in which FCSB has no coach and cannot count on many important players who have medical problems. Employer Gigi Becali negotiates with Cristiano Bergodi, after Devis Mangia and Walter Zenga refused the offer to train on FCSB.
- Probable team FCSB Football Club (4-3-3): A. Vlad – Ov. Popescu, Planić, I. Cristea, Panţâru (Soiledis) – Vână, L. Filip, Oaidă – Salomão, Fl. Tănase, Fl. Coman

Astra Giurgiu vs FCSB Picks
The hosts strengthened with Gabriel Tamas from Hapoel Haifa, while the FCSB transferred Valentin Crețu from Gaz Metan Mediaş, Aristidis Soiledis from FC Botosani, Ionuţ Panţâru from CSM Politehnica Iasi, Sorin Serban from Minaur Baia Mare and Łukasz Gikiewicz from Hajer FC. The “black and white” come after a 2-1 success at Voluntari, while the “red-blue” after a failure at home, 0-2 with FC Botosani. The guests will play on Thursday with FK Mladá Boleslav in the third round of the Europa League, but, considering that they have a lot of injured, they cannot afford to rest the holders. Without a coach, with a low morale after the last results and a very important match with FK Mladá Boleslav, it is hard to believe that FCSB will have the strength to impose on Astra field, a team that also provides the stadium for the matches in Europe League.
