Command Analysis
Rapid Bucuresti
RomaniaCurrent form
Last season, Rapid finished the first part of the championship in second place, but in the playoffs they fell to sixth place and lost the opportunity to play in the European Cups. Now the team looks even worse and has dropped to the bottom half of the table. The capital team is only in 11th place and is only two points ahead of the play-off zone. This is clearly not the result the fans were hoping for. The team is tossing and turning - after a defeat to the main outsider of the league, Botosani (0:2), there was a big victory over the recent champion, Farul (5:0). Finally, in the last round, they managed to hold on to a goalless draw away from home with the Europa League participant, FCSB.

Hermannstadt
RomaniaCurrent form
Last season, Hermannstadt stopped one step away from the fight for the European Cups - in ninth place. It does not look like they will be able to repeat the result this time, because now the team is much closer to relegation. The club from Sibiu is only in 14th place in the standings and is only one point ahead of the last Botosani. The visitors have been particularly bad in the last rounds - four defeats in a row, and with a crushing score. Marius Maldarasanu charges lost to Petrolul (1:4), Sepsi (0:4), Gloria Buzau (0:3) and Dynamo (0:2). The losing streak was interrupted only in the cup match, where they managed to deal with Unirea from Ungheni, which is inferior in class (2:0).

2.50Tip and bets
It is hard to believe in the success of the guests in this match. In the last rounds of the championship, Hermannstadt looks completely helpless, it is unlikely that anything will change in the confrontation with the rapidly gaining momentum Rapid. The hosts are trying to return to the top half of the tournament table and a victory over the outsider should be another step in this direction.
Our forecast is Asian handicap (-1) on Rapid for 1.85
Bet on total
The history of the confrontation between the teams includes only four matches and in none of them more than two goals were scored. Considering the weak play of the visitors in attack, we can assume that this scenario will be repeated now. We believe that the hosts will score one or two goals and then calmly bring the matter to victory.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.87
Bet on corners
Rapid will probably take the initiative from the very first minutes of the match and will put pressure on the opponent until the final whistle. In such conditions, the hosts will have a total advantage in corners.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-2.5) on corners for Rapid for 1.94
