Steaua Bucharest will be aiming to clinch their spot in the Champions League second qualifying round when they host Virtus to their Stadionul Steaua in the return leg. FCSB crushed Virtus 7-1 in the first leg and, as a result, they are with one foot in the second qualifying round. Boss Elias Charalambous is likely to mix the squad this time out, with all Dawa, Miculescu, and Antwi pushing for recalls to the starting XI.
The Sammarinese outfit, on the other hand, do not seem to be competitive at this level. Given Virtus’ difficulties at the back, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. Even though there are no fresh injury concerns in the visiting team, talented San Marino midfielder Elia Ciacci should sneak into the starting XI. Defender Luigi Rizzo is pushing for a start as well.
