FCSB – Rapid, the derby of the 17th stage of the Romanian championship, is scheduled for Sunday, November 6, from 21:00 at the National Arena in Bucharest and will be broadcast live on Digi Sport 1, Prima Sport 1 and Orange Sport. 1.
The most anticipated match of this weekend brings together two diametrically opposed teams, who are separated by 12 points in the tournament table.
FCSB are in 8th place with 20 points from 14 matches but still have two games to play against FC Botoşani (d) on December 1st and CFR Cluj (a) on December 15th.
Mihai Pintilius took charge ahead of the UEFA Conference League match against West Ham United (0-3 in Bucharest), after Nicolae Dike resigned in the 1-2 away defeat at U Cluj, a four-game losing streak consecutive victories in the Super League.
“Europe was neglected, that’s what the management and the former team decided. I ran after two rabbits and didn’t catch either. A very important match is ahead, the derby, we have no more excuses. This is vital! We can recover and have the spark we need. No pressure, I want to win the Derby with Rapid. I was created to win,” said Mihai Pintilius.
Rapid are in 2nd place with 32 points from 16 matches, eight adrift of leaders Farul Konstanz, and enter the derby with FCSB after two excellent results, 1-1 with Hyke Hagi’s Mariners and 2-1 from the CFR Cluj, both in Julesti.
Daniel Niculae, president of the group under Grant Bridge, says Rapid’s goal is to make the playoffs and win the Romanian Cup.
“I expected the pitch to be cherry white, but if the FCSB decide not to open ticket sales on that pitch, that’s their decision.
The position of the two teams matters less if the two opponents meet, and the place in the rankings matters less. We know very well that our goal is to reach the playoffs and win the Romanian Cup,” said Daniel Nikulae.
It should be noted that all four defeats of the players of “Giuste” in this championship were recorded on the road, and the last time FKSHB lost at home in the championship on April 3 with a score of 0:2 against “University of Craiova”.
In the match of the tour, Rapid defeated FCSB 2-0 thanks to goals from Dugandzic (19) and Sepunar (40).
