The match of the 7th stage of the playoffs “Farul” – “Rapid” is scheduled for Saturday, May 6, at 21:30 at the Central Stadium in Ovidio and will be broadcast live on Digi Sport 1, Orange Sport 1 and Prima Sport 1.

“Farul” and “Rapid” meet in a game that can decisively affect the final configuration of the rating, given that the hosts are fighting for the championship, and the guests have not given up participation in the European Cups.

Farul are in 1st place with 43 points, three more than FCSB and five more than CFR Cluj, the main contenders for the title, and this is after the draw achieved in the previous stage at Sepsi field, score 1 -1.

Hyke Hagi’s side have three wins, two draws and one defeat in the play-offs, while Mariners’ top scorer Denys Alibek (11 goals this season) is yet to score in this phase of the league.

Rapid is a very good team, very well organized, with a coach who has shown that he has a lot of potential. We and Rapid are teams that have shown that we can fight, like the best teams in Romania, that have shown that they intend to win the championship,” said Guike Hagi, coach of Farul.

Rapid are in 5th place with 34 points, one point behind Craiova University and four points behind CFR Cluj, with 4th place qualifying for the Conference League play-offs only if “U Cluj” will win over this Sepsi in the final of the Romanian Cup (otherwise this right will return to 3rd place).

After two draws and two defeats, Adrian Mutu’s side have won two straight in the play-offs, both at home (1-0 over FCSB and 3-1 over CFR Cluj) and the league’s top scorer Marko Dugandzic, with 19 goals in the Super Lig (tie with Andrea Compagno from FCSB).

“It will be an important, difficult match. We’re facing a top-ranked team that we haven’t beaten this season. We have to be much more careful, we also have to have a small chance. Farul’s first chance,” said Adrian Mutu, coach of Rapid.

In two regular season matches, the two teams drew 1-1 in Julesti (Sepunaru 53, respectively, Alibek 19), so in the second leg, Farul beat Rapid 2 – 1 (Artean 21, Ad. Mazilu 50, respectively, Sefer 14).

Also this season, in the group stage of the Romanian Cup, “Farul” won the match against “Rapid” from Giulesti with a score of 2:0 (Kasap 45+4p, Ad. Mazilu (90+7), and in the play-out match, both teams played draw in the capital with a score of 1-1 (Funsho 55 respectively, Nedeleku 76).
