Rapid Botoşani betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match is a good result for the hosts. Rapid are playing in their best form, where they have won most of their games and scored most of their goals, as well as winning the first half in most of those games. Botosani, on the other hand, are playing in their worst condition, where they have scored just eight goals. We expect an open game, dominated by the hosts, who should control possession and create the main scoring chances, especially in the first half. Therefore, betting on Rapid's Asian Handicap 0.0, -0.5 at half-time seems like a good alternative.

Analysis Rapid

The home team is currently in the 6th position of the league, with 39 points won, after 9 wins, 11 draws and 6 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Unirea Slobozia, by (2‑1). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Otelul, by (1‑1). For the league, Rapid won 23 points out of 30 possible points, after 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in the last 10 home matches.

They have won the last 4 home matches and haven't lost any of the last 9 home matches for this competition. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 9 of their 26 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1.

Rapid are on the rebound, having gone two games unbeaten, although their defense is a little shaky, drawing 1-1 away to Otelul last time out with a goal from Claudiu Petrila. The team's tactical structure is 3-4-3, with Claudiu Petrila, Alexandru Dobre and Rares Pop leading the attack. Petrila excels not only in scoring but also in creating plays, combining vision and precision passing to feed his teammates and expand the attacking options. Injured midfielder Diogo Mendes, center back Borisav Burmaz and right winger Clinton N'Jie, as well as suspended midfielder Tobias Christensen, are likely to miss the next matchday.

Confirmed Lineup: Mihai Aioani, Alexandru Paşcanu, Andrei Sebastian Borza, Denis Ciobotariu, Cristian Manea, Mattias Käit, Luka Gojković, Constantin Grameni, Claudiu Adrian Mihai Petrila, Elvir Koljić, Mihai Alexandru Dobre.
Coach: C. Gâlcă.

Analysis Botoşani

The away team is currently in the 14th position of the league, with 24 points won, after 5 wins, 9 draws and 12 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against SCM Gloria Buzau, by (0‑2). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Dinamo Bucureşti, by (1‑1). In the last 10 away league matches Botoşani has a record of 1 win, 3 draws and 6 losses, so they have won 6 points out of 30 possible. In their away league matches there are a few frequent results at half‑time: 1‑0 (5 out of 13 matches) and 0‑0 (5 out of 13 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 26 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 12 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 13 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 4 of their 8 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Botosani are having a poor campaign in the Super League, but have improved recently, drawing 1-1 at home to Dinamo in the last round, with Zoran Mitrov scoring for his side. The team is structured in a 3-4-2-1, ensuring a well-distributed and efficient attack. Adrian Chică-Roșă, Aldaír Ferreira and Ștefan Bodișteanu are key players up front, always present for decisive moves. In the middle, Hervin Ongenda and Jaly Mouaddib set the pace, taking advantage of their refined technique to connect the sectors and create attacking opportunities. Defender Rijad Sadiku is in the medical department and will miss the next match.

Confirmed Lineup: Giannis Anestis, Michael Pavlovič, Patricio Matricardi, Adams Friday, Andrei Miron, Enriko Papa, Aldaír, Hervin Ongenda, M. Chică-Roșă, Stefan Bodisteanu, Zoran Mitrov.
Coach: M. Croitoru.
