Few clubs in Europe boast the history of Steaua București, so will they be back in big-time European football this season?
The Romanian club were European Champions in 1986 before reaching the final again three years later, this time beaten by A.C. Milan.
However, having now not won the Liga I title for seven years, FCSB’s last appearance in a group stage came in 2017.
So far this season, as they bid to address that, Nicolae Dică’s team have beaten Saburtalo Tbilisi and then FC DAC 1904 Dunajská Streda.
Both legs of the previous round finished 1-0, with Joonas Tamm scoring in Slovakia and then Andrei Cordea netting at Arena Națională.
However, this should be an even greater test for FCSB, making this first leg in București crucial.
Before this season, the Norwegian club hadn’t won a tie in UEFA competition since 2008, with their only group phase, to date, coming in 2005.
With the second leg in Stavanger to come, will Viking leave Romania in a strong position?
