Rapid Bucuresti and Csikszereda have met several times in recent years, and the home side has usually been the one to take the win in nearly every match, except for the 1-3 home defeat in 2021 that still stings for the fans. This time the situation is clearly different, because Rapid Bucuresti are in the upper part of the table, while Csikszereda are stuck in 16th place and lost their most recent match. Rapid Bucuresti have played 13 matches, won 8, drawn 3, lost 2, scored 21 and conceded 13, but their recent form is not very steady, as they have just lost 1-4 at home to a league rival and finished with a 0-0 draw in the cup. Csikszereda are much worse off, winning only one of 13 matches, scoring 9 and conceding 26, and they lost their most recent match 1-2 in the cup. A defence that has faced an average of 6.4 shots on target per game over the last 10 matches suggests they do not handle pressure well. This game is likely to start with the home side controlling the ball and pushing high, while Csikszereda drop back to defend and wait to counter. The first half may still be tight, but in the second half, as the game stretches and the home side find more space, that is likely to be when the goals come and when the game clearly breaks open.
