FCSB vs Rapid Bucureşti Prediction: Roș-albaștrii hope to end Rapid Bucureşti’s dominance over them

FCSB will hope to end their wait for the title with another win when they welcome Rapid Bucureşti to the Arena Naţională on Saturday. Rapid Bucureşti have won each of the last 4 matches between them, including both legs of this season. Can they win this clash? Below are previews, H2H, expert betting tips, and odds.

LWWWW

After almost a decade, FCSB are gradually moving closer to laying their hands on the league title. The last time FCSB laid their hands on the trophy was in the 2014/2015 season, when they won 3 straight titles. Since then, they have fought back and forth with no result. They came second last second with 7 points off the top of the table when Farul were crowned champion. This season, they need just 2 more wins to be crowned this season's champions. With this, they know all the needs to get things down with 6 games left to be played this season. So far, they have won all 4 games they played in the championship group and sit at the top of the table with 44 points, 13 more than second-placed CFR Cluj.

WLLLL

Rapid Bucureşti enter this clash on the back of 4 successive losses, with the latest being a 1-0 loss to Sepsi. They had earlier lost 2-1 to Farul, 2-1 to Universitatea Craiova, and 4-1 to CFR Cluj. They will need to pick themselves up to get a place in the continental cups next season, as they sit 5th on the table with 28 points. They are just 3 points below second-placed CFR Cluj.

FCSB and Rapid Bucureşti have met 21 times since 2009. FCSB won 6 times, Rapid Bucureşti won 10 times, and 5 ended in draws. Rapid Bucureşti have won each of the last 4 matches between them, including both legs of this season. The previous game between the two sides ended 4-0 in favor of Rapid Bucureşti.

Rapid Bucureşti have outstanding records playing against FCSB. They have won each of the last 4 games against the title favorites. They even won the two games played against the Roș-albaștrii this season. Yet, the Rapidiștii are unreliable as they have lost their last 4 games. So, I will be backing FCSB to win this clash on their road to league victory.
