- In this Europa League season, after four rounds, FCSB is in 8th place with 9 points, and Olympiakos, the holder of the Conference League trophy, is in 11th place with 7 points.
- The Romanian champion will also meet Hoffenheim (December 12, away), Qarabag (January 23, away) and Manchester United (January 30, home) in this Europa League season.
FCSB currently have a 57% chance of being in the Top 24 at the end of the 8 stages of the league stage, according to Football Meets Data. If they collect one more point, the chances would increase to 96%, and with 11 points, the people from Bucharest would be 100% sure of the play-off qualification.
So, two draws or a win in their next four fixtures, with Olympiacos and Manchester United at home and Hoffenheim and Qarabag away, would take the Reds and Blues among the best in the competition.
When it comes to the calculations for the Top 8, things get complicated. With 15 points, the chances would be 75%, while for a 100% sure presence among the top 8, the Europa League participants would have to have at least 17 points, according to the aforementioned source.

FCSB – OLympiacos Live Video, 22:00, Digi Sport 1. Elias Charalambous: ”Everyone at this club wants us to win”
Before the match at the National Arena, Elias Charalambous held a press conference. He said what his and the club's expectations are for the FCSB – Olympiacos match.
The club's only objective is victory in the game on Thursday night.
”We play with one of the strongest clubs in Greece. It will be a difficult match. I saw Olympiacos at the derby in Greece. The most important thing will be how we will be in the match.
We showed that the matches in Europe cost us. We know it will be a full stadium. We hope to reward them on the pitch (not the fans). Everyone in this club wants us to win this game. The supporters will create an extraordinary atmosphere.
Every match is different. We analyze as we always do, we will try to win the game. I think I played with other good teams. I hope we will be in the best shape tomorrow.
It's a new road this season. Tomorrow we will try to win the match. In a match you don't show your level. It's a good test for us. If we talk about injuries, I think we are the team with the most. We are ready for tough matches.
I played in Greece for three years, I have many friends. I have many friends coming to the game tomorrow, I hope to make them happy. They have many quality players. We have to defend to have a good game“, said Elias Charalambous, during a press conference.
