Botosani team overview
FC Botoșani enters this one on the back of an entertaining 2–2 away draw against FC Voluntari to open their new campaign. The Moldavians are desperate to find consistency early on, especially given their mixed run of form at the tail end of last season.
Marius Croitoru’s men will particularly lean on their solid home form at the Stadionul Municipal, where they aim to extend an encouraging five-match unbeaten streak in front of their local supporters.
Main man Sebastian Mailat remains the undisputed focal point of the attack, fresh off an incredible campaign where he racked up an exact tally of 15 goals and 5 assists across 39 matches.
On the selection front, the squad has a fully fit attacking arsenal, meaning there are no noticeable absentees due to injury or form ahead of this massive fixture.

Rapid Bucuresti team overview
Rapid București prepares for this one on the back of a hard-fought 1–0 home victory against Sepsi OSK to kick off their domestic campaign.
The White-and-Burgundies are determined to establish early momentum as they look to put behind an inconsistent campaign that saw them collapse in the championship play-offs and miss out on European spots entirely.
Daniel Pancu’s men will need to carefully address their travel form, hoping to immediately snap a frustrating five-match winless streak on the road that severely hindered their progression late last term.
Main man Alex Dobre remains the undisputed attacking catalyst for the visitors, fresh off an excellent individual season where he led the club's scoring charts with an impressive tally of 15 goals.
Fortunately for the technical staff, the squad boasts a clean bill of health with no notable absentees to report before traveling north.

Prediction
Get ready for a tight, cautious match at Stadionul Municipal. This one’s likely headed for a 0-0 draw. Both teams focused on defense in their openers, and history points to a slow, low-scoring game. Rapid București just can’t seem to score away from home, and five of their last six meetings ended with less than three goals.
Three reasons we don’t expect more than two goals in this encounter
- Rapid Bucuresti failed to score in three of their last five away games.
- Only one of the last five competitive games of Bucuresti finished with over 2.5 goals.
- Five of the last six meetings between Botosani and Rapid Bucuresti finished with under 2.5 goals.
