Rapid vs FCSB, Playoff Stage 5 match scheduled for Sunday, April 23, 20:30 at Giulesti Stadium, will be broadcast live on Digi Sport 1, Orange Sport 1 and Prima Sport. 1.

Rapid and FCSB meet in the last match of the 5th stage and, at the same time, the play-off round, a real derby, the result of which can decisively affect the fate of the two teams in the 2022-2023 season.

There will also be a match between the scorers of the Super League, Croatian Marko Dugandžić (17 goals) and Italian Andrea Compagno (18 goals).

Rapid are in 5th place with 28 points, seven points behind University of Craiova, the team in 4th place, the last to offer a chance to play in Europe, provided CFR Cluj wins the Romanian Cup.

Adrian Mutu’s side are yet to win in the play-offs, where they have recorded two draws and two defeats, and the previous stage defeat, 1-3 away to the University of Craiova, has led Giulesti fans to publicly demand the resignation of Bliscuce.

“This is a match in which not only the level of three points is important for us. A battle of egos between us and FCSB. We must mobilize and win this match,” said Adrian Mutu, who was approved for the next season by two shareholders, Victor Angelescu and Dan Shuku, but in case of a new negative result, anything is possible.

FCSB are in 3rd place with 37 points and are the team with the best record in this play-off with two wins and two draws and a 2-1 home win over Mayak in the previous stage.

“We have a very tough game coming up and I want us to continue our good performance and get the three points that will help us. The pressure is also on us and if we are going to lose the title, it will only be because of our mistakes. Now we are in control,” FCSB coach Elias Charalambous said.

It should be noted that Rapid are the only team without a win in the playoffs, while FSCB are undefeated, but Giulesti have won three of their last five straight matches, including the last two played as hosts.
