Rapid Bucuresti and Genoa meet in a mid-season friendly, with no points or table at stake. Both teams therefore use this game to experiment with something rather than treating the result as an achievement. Rapid Bucuresti come in clearly the more confident side, on a winning run of 4 and unbeaten in 5, with their latest league match a 3-1 win, while Genoa are struggling, having lost 4 of their last 5 in Serie A and losing 1-2 in their most recent match. Genoa's attack managed only 3 goals over that same stretch, while Rapid Bucuresti scored 14 in their own league. This game is likely to play out with Rapid Bucuresti having more of the ball and gradually applying pressure on Genoa, who will probably sit back and wait to counter. If the hosts score first, the game will tilt even further one way, because Genoa have also conceded a lot late in many of their recent matches.
