On Wednesday, December 14, at 19:00 at the National Arena, a match of the 20th stage of the Romanian championship “Rapid” – “Petrolul” is scheduled, which will be broadcast live by Digi Sport 1, Prima Sport 2 and Orange Sport 1. .

Rapid and Petrolul meet in a match that concludes the 20th stage of the Super League, postponed after Giulesti’s side took part in a friendly alongside Borussia Dortmund and Fiorentina at the weekend.

“It was a good workout, longer than usual and more intense. It was more important because we were up against two big teams from Europe, but I think we did well. We have recovered two more players, Florin Stefan and Alex Ionice, who finished the match well and that is very important for us,” said Adrian Mutu.

Rapid have just one win in the last five stages of the championship, a period in which they have collected just six points, thus dropping to 5th in the standings with 34 points after 19 stages, one point behind FCSB, who are on the last rung of the pedestal and which still has a backlog (December 15, at home, against CFR Cluj).

Meanwhile, Giulesti were relegated from the Romanian Cup after a 0-0 draw against U Cluj in the final group stage, so the main goal of the season had already been achieved.

However, Adrian Mutu’s side are unbeaten at home, where they have won six and drawn three in nine matches, with Marko Dugandzic as the team’s top scorer with six.

However, for the match against Petrolul, Rapid will move to the National Arena, as the new stadium in Julesti has just had its turf replaced.

Petrol, on the other hand, are on the back of four wins in their last five Superliga games, the Yellow Wolves are in 8th place with 29 points from 19 matches, but have also suffered from relegation from the Romanian Cup in the middle of last week, after 0 -1 at home with FC Kraiova 1948.

Gazaria have four wins from nine away games this season, but the team coached by Nicolae Constantin is facing major financial problems and there is growing talk of possible insolvency in Ploiesti.

In the tour on 13 August, Petrolul won 1-0 at home against Rapid thanks to a 23rd minute goal by Gheorghe Grozav.
