It's early days in the Liga 2 and both Rapid Bucuresti and Concordia Chiajna are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
Rapid Bucuresti and Concordia Chiajna should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Rapid Bucuresti form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Rapid Bucuresti's two home games in the Liga 2 so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Stadionul Progresul Spartac.
No payout for Bucuresti in their previous match, an away game at Comuna Recea that ended in defeat 1-2. In the match before that, Bucuresti hosted Sporting Turnu and drew the game 1-1.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Rapid Bucuresti have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found one match with the results: Won zero, drawn one and lost zero.
Rapid Bucuresti has scored 3 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Concordia Chiajna form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Liga 2 for Concordia Chiajna with 2 draws and 1 loss from their first 3 attempts.
There might be some fixture complaints from Concordia as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Liga 2 match against Sporting Turnu (2-3). That result followed a home victory 4-0 versus Pandurii Targu Jiu.
Concordia Chiajna were so close to getting something from the game against Sporting Turnu, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal four minutes into overtime.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found ten similar matches played by Concordia Chiajna in our archives, and the results are: zero wins for Concordia Chiajna, five draws and five defeats.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Concordia have scored 4 goals in 3 league games away. Concordia struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 5 goals conceded from these games.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last nine meetings: five - three - one (Rapid Bucuresti wins - draws - Concordia Chiajna wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven had two or less.Top Goalscorers
