Rapid Bucuresti form and stats

Last season, Rapid Bucuresti's league results were 9 wins, 13 draws and 8 losses, leading to 9th spot in the Liga 1. From these 30 matches they scored 34 goals and let in 31. Appearing as the host team in the last season Rapid Bucuresti produced 5-7-3 (win-draw-lost) with 14 goals and 10 conceded.

The club members are hoping that Bucuresti will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the game against CFR Cluj (placed 4th). Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Albu for missing a penalty kick versus CFR Cluj in the 90th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

Heartbreak before that as Rapid Bucuresti lost 2-3 at Mioveni's place.
