Rapid Bucharest are in a position to seriously close in on the top of the standings, as a potential victory in this match would leave them just a point away from first place. However, their task does not seem easy at all, as UTA Arad are on a solid run and have not lost in five consecutive league matches, winning four of them.
Cautious clashes and solid defenseUTA Arad perform solidly on their home ground, where they have only two losses in 11 home games this season. At the same time, however, the history of direct encounters is clearly in favor of Rapid, who have not lost to this opponent in 12 consecutive matches. Characteristically, these matches rarely offer many goals and are often decided by a minimal margin.
Prediction: Both Teams to Score – NoGiven the traditionally cautious style in matches between the two teams, the stability in defense, and the importance of the points, I expect a closed match in which at least one of the two goals will remain dry.
