Aberdeen vs FCSB Bet Builder Tips: Back Yengi To Score in Our 7/1 Europa League Treble

Aberdeen welcome FCSB to Pittodrie for the opening leg of their Europa League qualifying play-off on Thursday, and you can back our betting tips in a 7/1 bet builder.

Scottish Premiership outfit Aberdeen kickstart their European campaign on Thursday evening, as they host Romanian side FCSB in the first leg of their Europa League qualifying play-off.

The Scottish Cup winners head into the tie sitting at the bottom of their domestic league. Jimmy Thelin’s side have lost two from two thus far, suffering 2-0 defeats to Celtic and Hearts.

They sealed their first win of the season on Saturday though, overcoming Scottish Championship side Greenock Morton by a comfortable 3-0 margin in the Scottish League Cup.

FCSB, meanwhile, have had a mixed start to the 2025-26 campaign.

Entering the Champions League qualifiers as Romanian champions, they defeated Inter Club d’Escaldes in the first round before suffering a surprise defeat to Shkendija in the second round.

Elias Charalambous’ side bounced back in the Europa League third qualifying round, claiming a 6-3 aggregate win over Kosovo’s Drita to set up their play-off clash against Aberdeen.

Domestically, they occupy 13th place and are winless in four straight Romanian Super Liga matches. Last time out, they were held to a 2-2 draw by Rapid Bucuresti on the road.

According to UK betting sites, the hosts are favoured to come out on top in the first leg.

Aberdeen vs FCSB Bet Builder Tips

• Aberdeen to Win @ 27/20
• Kusini Yengi to Score at Any Time @ 9/4
• Over 2.5 Goals @ 21/20

Aberdeen to Win @ 27/20

Our first tip for Thursday night’s Europa League qualifying play-off first leg is to back Aberdeen to beat FCSB, priced by leading bookmakers at a price of around 27/20.

FCSB have underwhelmed both domestically and in Europe this term, and while the Dons have also underwhelmed in their domestic league, they boast the advantage of being at home here.

Historically, Pittodrie has been a tough venue for European visitors in qualifying campaigns over the years, with Aberdeen regularly upping their game on home turf.

Backed by their passionate supporters in North East Scotland, we’re expecting this trend to continue and can see the hosts edging out the match at decent odds.

Kusini Yengi to Score at Any Time @ 9/4

Signed from Portsmouth in the summer, Australia international Kusini Yengi netted his first goal for Aberdeen in their 3-0 win over Greenock Morton at the weekend.

Reports suggest that he’ll retain his place in the lineup for FCSB’s visit, likely leading the line.

A constant aerial threat and a focal point in attack, Yengi has a strong chance of finding the net.

Priced at an arguably generous 9/4, we see value in backing the 26-year-old to score at any time in the first leg, as if the Dons are to score – he is likely to be directly involved.

Over 2.5 Goals @ 21/20

Our final tip for Thursday’s European clash is to back over 2.5 goals to be scored, which looks well priced at around 21/20 with leading bookmakers in the United Kingdom.

Aberdeen’s European fixtures often produce goals, with six of their eight continental fixtures in 2023-24 finishing with three or more goals.

This attacking trend is matched by FCSB, who have seen six of their last seven matches across all competitions go over 2.5 goals, including each of their previous three in Europe.

With both sides carrying attacking threats but also showing vulnerabilities at the back, we should see plenty of goals here, making our over 2.5 goals selection a strong pick.
