Expert Betting Tips

Since regaining their form, FCSB have performed well in the league and continued climbing the table. However, they won’t have it so well against Rapid Bucureşti, who have always managed to pick points away from home. Rapid Bucureşti are unbeaten in their last 6 games against the defending champions. So, I expect the first 45 minutes to end in a draw, and both sides are expected to score.
