FC Botosani vs Rapid Prediction (27.07.2026)

Last season, Rapid Bucharest finished in fifth place in the final standings and missed out on the spots that grant participation in European tournaments. However, this means that this season the team can focus all its attention on the championship. The start was successful, as in the first round, Rapid Bucharest achieved a victory against Sepsi. Now the team has its first away game of the season, and the opponent will be Botoșani.

Botoșani started the new season with a draw against the newcomer Voluntari. If we look at their direct confrontations with Rapid Bucharest, the statistics are clearly in favor of Rapid. The team won three of the last four matches, while the other match ended in a goalless draw. It is true that away games are not always Rapid's strongest suit, but the difference in class between the two teams seems to favor the visitors.

I expect Botoșani to put up a fight in front of their home crowd, but Rapid Bucharest has a higher quality squad and has already started the season with a victory, which should give them additional confidence. Adding the successful results in the recent direct encounters between the two teams, I believe the visitors have a better chance of securing the three points.
