They lost six out of the 17 matches played in the championship while the club\u2019s leaders and fans are having a difficult time trying to wrap their heads around the situation. FCSB presently boasts one of the most valuable lineups they ever had and have many times proved they can take on every redoubtable opponent in Europe. They drew their latest match against Petrolul one-all in Bucharest.<\/p>\n<p>Also on Thursday, Universitatea Craiova will be playing German side Mainz, in the fourth leg of the UEFA Conference League. With a win, a draw and a defeat Craiova ranks 20<sup>th<\/sup> with four points.<\/p>\n<p>They kicked off with a defeat 2-0 at Rakow in Poland, they secured a one-all home draw against the Armenian champions Noah, upon which they outperformed Rapid Vienna one-nil.
