Looking for a SSU Politehnica Timisoara vs CSA Steaua prediction? This Liga II clash on Oct 8, 2026, at 16:00 local time sees SSU Politehnica Timisoara as the clear favorite with a 55% win probability. The home side's unbeaten league record and perfect home form give them a significant edge over a CSA Steaua side that has struggled on the road.

Team Form

SSU Politehnica Timisoara come into this match in strong shape. Their last five results read W, W, D, L, W. The only defeat came in the Cup against Rapid Bucuresti (0-2). In the league, they have been dominant: a 2-1 home win over Stefanestii de Jos, a 3-0 thrashing of ACS Targu Mures 1898, a 1-1 draw at CSM Olimpia Satu Mare, and a thrilling 4-3 victory at Gloria Popesti Leordeni. With 18 goals scored and only 7 conceded in 8 league games, they are both prolific and solid.

CSA Steaua have been inconsistent. Their last five results are W, W, L, D, L. The wins came against Stefanestii de Jos (4-1, friendly) and Gloria Bistrita (2-1, league). However, away from home in the league they have lost 3-0 at FC Bihor Oradea and 2-1 at CSM Metalul Resita, with a 2-2 draw at FC Cetate Suceava in between. That leaky defence on the road will be a major concern.

Head-to-Head Record

There is no head-to-head record available for these two teams. They have not met in any recorded competitive fixture, so this encounter will be a first.

CSA Steaua's exact league position is not available in the provided data, but their away form suggests they are in the lower half of the table.

Win Probability: SSU Politehnica Timisoara or CSA Steaua?

Based on the odds, team form, and home advantage, we calculate the following win probabilities:

• SSU Politehnica Timisoara win: 55%
• Draw: 25%
• CSA Steaua win: 20%

The bookmakers' 1X2 odds (2.05, 2.25, 5.15) implied a 43% home win, 39% draw, and 18% away win after removing the margin. We have adjusted these numbers significantly in favour of the home side because of their outstanding league form, perfect home record, and CSA Steaua's poor away results. The draw probability remains relatively high because the odds suggest a tight match, but SSU Politehnica Timisoara's quality should ultimately prevail.

Odds & Match Prediction

The pre-match 1X2 odds are: SSU Politehnica Timisoara win at 2.05, draw at 2.25, and CSA Steaua win at 5.15. Bookmakers clearly see the home team as the favourite, but the low draw odds indicate that a stalemate is not out of the question.

Match prediction: Based on the stats, SSU Politehnica Timisoara are expected to win. Their attacking firepower and defensive solidity at home should be too much for a CSA Steaua side that has lost two of their last three away league games. A home win is the most probable outcome, but a draw cannot be ruled out given the odds.
