Steaua București hosted Buzău in the National League on Thursday, 4 September 2026, and suffered a 29:35 defeat on home ice. The visitors took all three points from the contest, extending their momentum from a string of results that have seen them competitive in recent fixtures. It marks another setback for the hosts, who have struggled to find consistency on their own court.
By then, the prediction had already been made — an away win at 54 per cent confidence. It came through, though not without Steaua keeping things close for long stretches. The visitors had been knocking on doors in their last few outings, losing by narrow margins or scraping victories when it mattered. This time they simply finished stronger.
Steaua's recent record shows a pattern of narrow defeats, including a 25:28 loss to Vaslui and a 29:35 reverse against CSM București earlier in the season. Buzău's form has been mixed — heavy wins against Cluj followed by tight losses to Dinamo București and CSM București. Both sides enter this campaign with questions hanging over their consistency.
The result leaves Steaua searching for answers at home while Buzău moves forward with something to build on. Neither team has accumulated points yet in the new season, but this outing gives them a frame of reference. The visitors proved they can match Steaua's output and finish ahead when it counts.
