All eyes will be on San Marino Stadium when Virtus and Steaua lock horns in the Champions League first qualifying round, first leg. Virtus did well to win the Campionato Sammarinese in a thriller last round, but they will have a mountain to climb against the famous Romanian side. Steaua have big ambitions for the elite competition and they must be buoyed by Romania’s fine displays at the European Championship finals.
Anyhow, David faces Goliath in Serravalle and anything but a routine away win would be a big surprise. It has to be noted that FCSB rolled over Hunedoara 3-0 in the Romanian Super Cup final at the weekend. The good news for the away team is that the likes of Stefan Tarnovanu, Darius Olaru, and Adrian Sut are all back from the international duty. Elias Charalmbous is likely to stick to the 4-3-3 formation.
