FCSB vs Rapid Bucharest Prediction: Both sides expected to score

FCSB will start their title-winning fight against Rapid Bucharest at the National Arena. The hosts remain unbeaten in their last 14 games in the league. Can they continue this run? Below, I have the team news, expert betting tips, and odds.

FCSB

FCSB bowed out of the Europa League after losing 7-1 on aggregate to Lyon. They will now focus on the league, where they secured a 1-0 win over Univ. Craiova in their last game with Adrian Sut scoring the only goal of the game in the 30th minute. They remain unbeaten in their last 14 games in the league and their last 11 at home. They finished the regular season at the top of the table with 56 points in 30 games, scoring 43 goals and conceding 24.

Rapid Bucharest

Rapid Bucharest suffered a 1-0 loss to Hermannstadt in their last game to end their five-game unbeaten run of three wins and two draws. However, they have won just one of their last six games on the road. They finished the regular season in the last spot of the championship group with 46 points in 30 games, scoring 35 goals and conceding 26.

Expert Betting Tips

FCSB look to be ready to defend their title after bouncing back from a slow start of the season to the top of the league before the regular season ended. Now that they are out of the Europa League, they have all their attention on the league, and I think they will start with a win here. However, I expect goals from both sides of the net.

Our prediction for this match is for both teams to score, for odds of 1.98 at Betway.

Our second prediction for this match is to see more than two goals for odds of 2.28 at 1xbet.

Our third prediction is for FCSB to win at odds of 1.91 at Bet365.
