The current leaders of the Romanian Superliga 2025/26 - Rapid Bucuresti - will try to maintain their top position in the league after this weekend. On Monday, they host Botosani at Stadionul Rapid-Giulesti, who could climb to first place in Superliga 25/26 if they beat Rapid Bucuresti and the other results go their way.
The home side are still unbeaten after their first three games - they have won both away encounters by the same 2-0 scoreline, beating Arges Pitesti and FK Csikszereda, but drew their only home game of the season against CFR Cluj.
Botosani, on the other hand, are also unbeaten after their first three games in the newly-launched Superliga 25/25, but have just one win and two draws to their name. Their only away game in the league was a 0-0 draw against Dinamo Bucuresti a few weeks ago.

Prediction
Rapid Bucuresti are the current leaders of the Romanian Superliga 25/26, having picked up seven points out of a possible nine in their first three games. They are yet to win at Stadionul Rapid-Giulesti, having drawn 1-1 with CFR Cluj in their second game of the season, but their recent record against Botosani suggests that Rapid Bucuresti will win on Monday. The hosts have not lost to Botosani in six consecutive league home games in recent years and have also not lost in 9 of their last 10 encounters against their Monday opponents. For these reasons alone, we favour a win for Rapid Bucuresti on Monday.
Three reasons we expect Rapid Bucuresti to Win
- Rapid Bucuresti are top of the Romanian Superliga 25/26 after three matches
- They have not lost any of their last 6 home matches against Botosani
- They have avoided a defeat against Botosani in 9 of their last 10 league encounters
