Our Prediction for Dinamo Bucharest vs Rapid Bucharest
The capital's teams had very different previous seasons. Dinamo finished in thirteenth place and managed to retain their top-flight status thanks to a play-off win over Csikszereda. The visitors were second after the regular season, but then dropped to as low as sixth place in the championship group.
In the new season, Kopić’s team has shown significant improvement. With 51 points, they secured fifth place. However, they have mostly lost in the spring, beating only Universitatea Cluj. The derby against FCSB ended 1-3.
Their city rivals collected just 46 points over 30 rounds in the regular championship but still closed the top-6 and reached the leaders’ group. Their results there are somewhat better than Dinamo’s, but they lost twice at home at the end of April and were eliminated from the cup after losing to Hermannstadt. However, in the previous round, they managed to beat Universitatea Craiova 2-1 away.
