The new Romanian SuperLiga campaign begins for Arges Pitesti and Rapid Bucharest as they meet under the lights at Orasenesc on Friday evening.
Following two years outside the spotlight in Romania’s lower league, Arges Pitesti have earned their way back to the premier division by clinching the second-tier title last season, and they’ll be determined to celebrate their comeback by making a significant impact on the opener.
Rapid Bucharest underperformed significantly in last season’s playoff phase, which cost them a spot in European competitions, but this setback now gives them the chance to focus fully on domestic matters in the 2025-26 campaign where they will aim high and push hard for the title.
Arges Pitesti vs Rapid Bucharest Betting Tips : BTTS
Currently sitting as the second most valuable squad in the top-flight league, Rapid Bucharest will be aiming to kick off the 2025-26 campaign on a winning note, but they’ll need to bring their A-game since Arges have been formidable at home and could turn this into an exciting showdown. After two years away from the top flight, the Pitesti-based club will be fiercely determined to prove themselves against the title contenders in front of their home crowd and make it tough for the visitors to claim an easy victory. Despite entering the opener as favourites, it cannot be overlooked that Rapid Bucharest struggled to grind out results on the road last season, with their backline often looking shaky as they managed to collect just three clean sheets from 20 SuperLiga outings away from home. Motivated to shine in their elite comeback, Arges will likely come out swinging in front of their supporters thanks to their sharp edge in the final third lately, yet with Rapid Bucharest packing plenty of attacking threat themselves, this matchup feels destined for an open battle featuring action and goals from both sides.
