The match between Farul and Rapid is scheduled for Wednesday, December 20 at 20:30 at the Central Stadium in Ovidiu, which is the score of the 21st stage of the Romanian championship and will be broadcast live on Digi Sport 1, Orange Sport 1 and Prima. Sports 1.

Farul and Rapid will meet in the derby of the 21st stage of the Super League, the last one scheduled for 2023. Both teams are currently aiming to reach the playoffs after the regular season, and then access to the European Cups.

Prior to this stage, Farul were in 7th place with 29 points from a run of two wins, two draws and one loss recorded in their last five league games, with a 0-0 draw away to UTA in the previous stage.

In the matches of the current domestic season, Hyke Hagi’s team recorded four wins, four draws and two defeats, while the top scorer of the “sailors” is Jonuts Lari, who has six successes in the Superliga.

Hyke Hagi cannot rely on team captain Jonuts Lari, who received a yellow card in the match against UTA and is suspended, so the “King” accuses of collusion: “If it’s a yellow card… Probably the referees know which players have yellows, about foul was out of the question!”.

Rapid are in 4th place with 32 points, but are losing momentum after recording three draws and two defeats in their last five Super League matches, with a draw at Petrolula in the previous round 0-0 (the fourth goalless draw in the last six official games, including the Romanian Cup).

The team coached by Cristiano Bergodi has recorded three wins, six draws and one defeat away from home in the current edition of the Superliga, while Giulesti’s top scorers are Albion Rahmani (recovering from injury, not played since October 6) and Marko Dugandzic (in the meantime, left for Al Tai, Saudi Arabia), each of whom scored six goals in the championship.

“It’s normal to have that kind of pressure. It would be good if we managed to win against Farul like we did at the end of the year. And it was a difficult time for me. I had a meeting with Dan Shuku and he gave me confidence. And I think I have to stay to rebuild the team,” Cristiano Bergodi said.

In the tour match on 20 August in the 6th stage, Rapid beat Farul in Julesti 3-1 with goals from Emmers (34), Dugandzic (38) and Al. Ionita (88), respectively, Ad. Mazilu (79).
