- Competition: Liga 1
- Date: Monday, 21st October, 2024
- Kickoff: 19:00 UK / 20:00 CEST
- Venue: Superbet Arena - Giulesti (Bucharest)
On Monday evening, Rapid Bucuresti and Farul Constant, two teams that heavily underperformed this season, will face off against each other in the 13th round of Liga 1 at Superbet Arena - Giulesti in Bucharest.
Rapid Bucuresti had a nice regular season last year, finishing second behind FCSB. Unfortunately, they collapsed in the Championship round and eventually finished last in the group. But after that partly successful season, they are having a pretty poor one, as they are in 12th place with just 13 points in 12 rounds. They are a club that invested a lot of money in this team, at least by Romanian standards, and this start is far from expected. They have the second-highest total market in the league, only behind FCSB, and this current standing is far from expected.
Farul Constanta, the Romanian champion from the 2022/23 season, had a mediocre last season. They finished 4th in the Championship group and eventually missed out on the European (Qualifier) spots. This season, they are having a really poor year as they are in 12th place - on a level with points with their next opponent, Rapid Bucuresti. Still, the Championship group spots are only five points away, but based on what we have seen so far from both teams, reaching them will be challenging.
Rapid vs Farul Constanta pick: Under 2.5 goals
Rapid Bucuresti are in terrible form, winning just once in the last five games. While their are creating goalcoring chances, they are struggling to convert them and have scored only three in those five matches. Also, they failed to score in back-to-back games against Botosani and Otelul just before the international break, so we do not expct much from them.
Farul Constanta are one of the best teams for this bet, at least when it comes to road games. So far, four out of their five road games (80%) finished with fewer than three goals. The main reason for it is poor offense away from home, as they scored just four goals in five matches.
Considering all the above, but especially both teams' poor forms, we believe that an under 2.5 goals should be the safest option for this Liga 1 tie.

Rapid Bucuresti team news
During the international break, some football pundits expected coach Marius Sumudica to get sacked, especially after one of the main people at the club, Dan Sucu, had some fairly negative comments about the club's situation. Coach Sumudica spoke to the media about the situation between him and Sucu: "Everyone must answer for the statements they make and come up with arguments. At the moment, I don't have any kind of problem with absolutely anyone within the Rapid club."
