Rapid vs Argeș: Team News and Expert Analysis
The historic Bucharest club also played in the championship group last season, even rising from sixth to fifth place in the spring. However, they still failed to qualify for European competitions. In the regular part of this campaign, they collected 56 points — only Universitatea Craiova managed more. Yet this spring, they already lost to CFR. In the previous round, they were beaten 1-2 at home by Universitatea Cluj.
The team from Pitești won the second division in 2024/2025. They have not looked out of place at the higher level either, collecting exactly 50 points in 30 rounds. This secured their spot in the leaders' group, where they started with a win over the leader, Universitatea, and that too in Cluj. However, they later lost to the other Universitatea — from Cluj. Against Dinamo Bucharest, at least they managed a draw.
The capital club averages 1.55 goals scored per game, while conceding a third less — 1.06 per match. The best of the newcomers, Argeș, scores 1.18 goals per game and concedes 0.91.
