Match Preview
Otelul Galaţi welcomes Rapid Bucureşti to Stadionul Oţelul on Monday evening, with both teams looking to solidify their positions in Liga 1. Otelul has struggled for form, managing just one win in their last five matches (LDDWL), while Rapid is riding a wave of confidence, having secured three consecutive victories (WDDWW). The contrasting form suggests that Rapid may have the upper hand heading into this fixture. Historically, encounters between these sides have often been tightly contested, with five of the last ten meetings ending in draws. However, the odds reflect a clear expectation of a competitive match, with Rapid priced at 2.15 to win. A notable angle to consider is the likelihood of both teams finding the net, as five of their last ten head-to-heads have seen both teams score. With Otelul's defensive vulnerabilities and Rapid's attacking prowess, a bet on both teams to score (BTTS Yes at 1.9) could be a prudent choice for this matchup.
