Rapid București enters this match motivated to secure a crucial victory. Currently sitting in 8th place, the home team is just four points behind the 6th position. A win here would narrow the gap to just one point, bringing them closer to the coveted championship group of the top six teams in Romania.

Rapid has been in solid form recently, with just one loss in their last five matches. However, their campaign has been hampered by too many draws, tallying 11 so far. At home, though, they've been exceptional, recording four wins and one draw in their last five home games.

Their opponents, Poli Iași, have struggled on the road this season, managing only five points from 10 away matches, with a goal difference of 6:19. To make matters worse, they haven’t won in their last eight games and are in poor form heading into this clash.

With Rapid’s strong home performance and Poli Iași’s dismal away record, the odds seem firmly in favor of the home team.
