Match Preview
Rapid București hosts CFR Cluj in a crucial Liga 1 clash on Sunday, 20 July, at the Stadionul Valentin Stănescu. The home side comes into this match with a solid run of form, having gone unbeaten in their last five matches (DDWWD), while CFR Cluj struggles with just one win in their last five (DLLLW). This disparity in form could give Rapid a psychological edge, especially playing on home turf. Historically, encounters between these two sides have been closely contested, with their last ten meetings yielding three wins for each team and four draws. Notably, both teams have a tendency to score, with nine of their last ten matches seeing both sides find the net. Given the odds of 1.8 for both teams to score and 1.95 for over 2.5 goals, it seems likely that this match will feature plenty of action in front of goal. Rapid's current momentum could be pivotal, but Cluj will be eager to turn their fortunes around, making this an intriguing matchup.
