CFR Cluj Rapid betting prediction

|  Rapid |
Betting suggestion:
The most likely scenario for this match is that there will be a few goals. CFR are playing at their best, having scored most of their goals but also conceded most, but they have the advantage in head-to-head matches. Rapid, meanwhile, are also playing at their best, where they are yet to lose. We expect an open game, with a slight advantage for the visitors, but with chances for both sides to score. Therefore, betting on Rapid's Asian Handicap +0.5 in the match seems like a good alternative.

Analysis CFR
The home team is currently in the 12th position of the league, with 16 points won, after 3 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Dinamo Bucureşti, by (2‑1). In the last match, they won in an away match against Unirea Slobozia, by (0‑1). This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses at their stadium. For the league, CFR won 9 points out of 24 possible points, after 2 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses in the last 8 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, as 8 of the last 8 for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 8 of their 16 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1.
CFR is performing well below expectations despite beating Slobozia away in the last round by 0-1, with a goal from Andrei Cordea. Usually playing in a 4-3-3 formation, the team relies on Meriton Korenica, Andrei Cordea and Louis Munteanu to lead the attack. In midfield, Lindon Emërllahu, Damjan Djokovic and Andres Sfait support the tactical structure with balance and creativity, linking the sectors and maintaining the pace of offensive actions, with Emërllahu emerging as the main scorer. For the next game, the coach will not be able to count on full-backs Simão Rocha and Marcus Coco, who remain in the medical department.

Analysis Rapid
The away team is currently in the 1st position of the league, with 35 points won, after 10 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Universitatea Craiova, by (2‑2). In the last match, they won in a home match against Argeş, by (2‑0). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss in away matches, with 25 goals scored and 10 conceded; against 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 22 goals scored and 18 conceded.
In this competition, they haven’t lost any of the last 8 away matches. In their away league matches, the most frequent final score was the 0‑2 (3 out of 8 matches). Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 6 of the last 8 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 12 of the last 16 matches for the Liga I, they have reached half‑time in front in 8 of those 12 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 10 of them.
Rapid is having a great season, returning to winning ways at home in the last round against Arges with a 2-0 victory, with goals scored by Alexandru Pașcanu and Alexandru Dobre. The team usually plays in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Elvir Koljic as the central striker leading the attack. Just behind him, the trio of Tobias Christensen, Alexandru Dobre and Claudiu Petrila is responsible for bringing intensity to the offensive sector, offering speed, width and dynamism in creating plays. This structure favours quick transitions and strengthens the attacking power, especially with Dobre standing out as the team's top scorer. Left-back Andrei Borza, right winger Drilon Hazrollaj and centre forward Borisav Burmaz, all injured, will be missing from the next match.
