Bacău have a slight edge at home
The hosts Băcăuanii currently sit in 9th position in the Liga 2 2026/2027 table with three points from their opening two matches, while the visitors Militarii are at the bottom of the table with 0 points from their first two games.
Bacău's form reads loss, win, loss across their last three matches, starting with a 4-1 away defeat to CSC 1599 Selimbar in Liga 2 Relegation Group 2026, before a 3-0 home win against CS Stefanesti in Liga 2 2026/2027 and a 3-2 away loss to Acs Gloria Popesti Leordeni in Liga 2 2026/2027. Steaua's form is even worse, with 0 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their last 5 games across all competitions.
The hosts are the slight favourites at 2.4, with Steaua listed at 2.55 and the draw at 3.35. It is a big mismatch and it would be easy to conclude that the home team are the most likely to win, although Bacău's odds are good value considering that they are undefeated on their home ground so far and that they have already beat Steaua in this competition.
Steaua have a strong tactical foundation
Tactical setup
Under the management of Constantin Enache, Bacău are a well-organised 4-1-4-1 system that is generally compact and absorbs pressure, before releasing players down the wings or countering off set pieces. Daniel Oprița has been in charge of Steaua since 12 July 2019 and his length of tenure has allowed him to develop a flexible system that can play either 3-5-2 or 4-2-3-1, with an emphasis on wing-backs and wide players moving quickly with the ball.
Key points
- Remus Chipirliu has been the spark for Steaua in recent weeks with 3 of their 7 goals coming from him over the last 5 matches.
- Steaua are coming off three straight defeats with their previous two matches in Liga 2 2026/2027 both finishing as home losses at 1-2 to CSM Slatina and SCM Ramnicu Valcea respectively.
- This should be a cagey contest with Bacău's low block against Steaua's fluid wide play and so we're going to take a low stake on under 2.5 goals at 1.93 in this one.
