Our prediction for Unirea Slobozia vs Rapid Bucharest
The club from "Clinceni" showed about the same mediocre level of football last season. As a result, they had to play in the play-out, where they managed to outperform Voluntari only in a penalty shootout, after exchanging wins. The scenario might repeat itself now: results are weak, but there are a couple of outright outsiders. They lost to their latest opponents, both Dinamo Bucharest and Universitatea Craiova.
The Bucharest team climbed one spot in the championship group in the spring but eventually finished only fifth, outside the European competition zone. Now, they are among the real title contenders, albeit facing strong competition—neighboring Dinamo and Universitatea Craiova. There was also a setback against Farul, where they lost. However, the derby with Dinamo was successful.
Niculescu's side scores on average 0.93 goals and concedes half as many again—1.57 per match. The title contender has the reverse stats: an average of 1.57 goals scored and only 1 conceded per match.
