Rapid București will likely face their biggest test of the season when they play their last regular season game against the league leaders. They have already secured their place in the championship group, and a win in this clash will solidify their position in second place heading into the postseason, regardless of other results. However, a draw or a loss could see them drop to third place in the league.

Rapid București have suffered just 1 defeat in their last 8 games, winning 6 and drawing 1. They currently occupy second place on the table with 52 points in 29 games, scoring 51 goals and conceding 32.

FCSB have already won the regular season of the league and is well positioned to win the league again, currently sitting firmly at the top of the table with 64 points in 29 games, having scored 53 goals and conceded just 24. FCSB remain unbeaten in their last 12 games in all competitions.

Florinel Coman, who scored 4 goals in his last 3 outings, will hope to get on the scoreboard here. Darius Olaru will not play in this game to complete his suspension after receiving a red card against Botoșani. Both players have scored 14 goals each this season, with Coman adding 8 assists to his tally.

Both sides have met 16 times from 2011 to date, with Rapid București winning 7 times, FCSB winning 5 times, and 3 matches ending in a draw. Rapid București has won the last 3 games between the two sides.

Even though FCSB are the best team in the league at the moment, Rapid București have a way of securing full points when playing against them. FCSB have nothing to lose in this game going forward, but Rapid București may lose their second place in the league. So, my money is on Rapid București to win this clash and secure their fourth successive win over the league leaders. In addition, I expect an attacking style of football from both sides.
