FCSB's play-off form has been nothing short of clinical. By securing victories against both CFR Cluj and Rapid Bucharest in recent weeks, they have opened a significant gap at the top. "The trophy is coming back to Bucharest. We can feel the weight of it now," stated a senior player.
Tactically, the league's top teams have moved toward a 'German-style' Gegenpressing, with FCSB utilizing young, energetic wingers to overwhelm the aging defenses of traditional rivals. The battle for the remaining European spots is a four-way struggle between CFR, Rapid, Universitatea Craiova, and Farul Constanța.
