Rapid v FCSB, the match count of the 30th stage of the Romanian championship, scheduled for Saturday, March 9, from 20:00 at the National Arena in Bucharest, will be broadcast live on Digi Sport 1, Orange Sport 1 and Prima Sport 1.
Rapid and FCSB meet in the derby of the 30th stage of the Super League, the last of the regular season, in a game that could significantly clarify the chances of the two teams in the fight for the title of the season 2023-2024.
The Rapid have 52 points, 12 off the FCSB leader, and can’t afford to lose to hope for a championship, given that the points will be halved in the playoffs.
Giulești are coming off the back of three wins, a draw and a loss in their last five Superliga matches, and they drew 1-1 at Craiova University in the previous round (Rapid have six wins, a draw and a loss in 2024).
Rapid have nine wins, two draws and three defeats in their home matches this season, with Albion Rahmani as their top scorer with 11 wins in the Super League.
“We are facing the first team in the ranking, but it will be a match from which we need points. The pressure is on us, we have to close the gap, we absolutely have to win. The difference between a draw and a win will be one point when entering the playoffs,” said Cristiano Bergodi, Rapid’s coach.
FCSB is in 1st place with 64 points after four wins and a draw recorded in the last five matches of the championship, and in the previous stage they won at home against Petrolul with a score of 1:0. (has six successes and two draws in 2024).
The team coached by Elias Charalambous is also the leader in the hierarchy of games played away from home in the current edition of the Super League, with 31 points accumulated after nine wins, four draws and one loss, and the top scorers from the FCSB, but also from the championship – Florinel Coman and Darius Olaru, each with 14 goals.
The Rapids are a good team with very good players, but if you look at the rankings, the teams are very close in value. I don’t think that Rapid is the only team that will fight with us for the championship title,” said Elias Haralambous.
In a tour match on 5 November 2023, also at the National Arena but considered an FCSB ground, Rapid won 2-1 after goals from Papo (39) and Jakob (45+2) respectively, Dava (66) .
