Rapid are on a high after a 2-1 win at San Gheorghe with Sepsi, and Giulestul is dreaming of a great performance at the end of the centenary season.

“In football you win or lose, the next stage comes and you have to try to have continuity, to win. When it comes to a big team like Rapid, you have to win stage by stage. Adrian Mutu has very good players in his squad who can change the situation,” said Daniel Nikulae, the president of the White Cherries.

Paradoxically, Adrian Mutu’s team showed very good results in matches against the top teams of the Superliga (wins over FCSB, Universitatea Craiova and Sepsi) and had problems against lower ranked opponents (defeat to Petrolul Ploiesti).

“U” Cluj missed the start of the season and scored only three points in the first seven stages, not having tasted victory yet.

The poor results led to the replacement of Erik Linkard with Eugen Neagoe, who has big goals with the Red Caps: “I can promise that I will do everything in my power to make this team look better and better, stay in the first league this season, and next year we will definitely be able to make it to the playoffs. If we don’t make the playoffs, I’m abandoning ship.”

Jena made their Transylvania debut with a 0-0 draw against FC Voluntari, but Rapid are a team of a different caliber and in full form.

The last head-to-head match between the two teams took place in the 2020-2021 Ligue 2 regular season, when Rapid beat U Cluj 1-0 at home.
