SCM Timișoara defeated Steaua București 42-35 in SuperLiga action on 22 August 2026, extending their dominance in this fixture. The result maintains Timișoara’s strong recent form, with the side now unbeaten in their last five matches (four wins, one draw).
The seven-point margin proved sufficient for the home side, who have now won nine of the eleven meetings between these teams. Steaua București have claimed just two victories in this head-to-head record, with no draws recorded.
For Steaua București, the defeat continues a difficult period. After winning three consecutive matches, they have now lost their last two fixtures. The 35 points scored suggests they remain capable of threatening opposition defenses, but defensive vulnerabilities proved costly against a Timișoara side that has been consistently finding ways to secure results.
The 42 points conceded represents the second successive loss for the visitors, who will look to arrest this recent slide. Meanwhile, Timișoara’s continued strong form and historical advantage over Steaua București reinforces their position as the dominant team in this particular rivalry.
