On Saturday, August 6, at 9:45 p.m., the qualifying match of the 4th stage of the Rapid Super League will take place between FC Argesh and Digi Sport 1, Prima Sport 1 and Orange Sport 1.

Rapid overcame a torrid start to the league, 0-1 with CFR Cluj (d), 2-0 with FCSB (a) and 1-0 with Universitatea Craiova (d), and a quieter period is coming for the people of Giulesti. which starts with a home match against FC Argesh, a team that has changed a lot from last season, when they first reached the playoffs, but which appears to be one of the extremes (clean wins at home, 2-0 against UTA Arad and 3- 1 with “U” Cluj, and a shameful away defeat, 0-4 against Sepsi).

Adrian Mutu is a common element of the two teams, he made his debut as a player in the first league of Romania for FC Argeş on 15 March 1997 in a match with Ocellul Galatsi, the score was 0-0.

In Trivala, the “genius” stayed until January 1999, when he transferred to Dynamo through “Rokar” for 600,000 dollars, although he was close to moving to “Rapid”!

“I wanted to join Steaua, so I went to Bucharest to sign. I stayed at the Ambassador Hotel and waited for a call. But, in fact, at first I was told that I was in Rapid, then that I would sign with Steaua, and in the evening they told me that I was in Dynamo. In one day, I visited all three teams from Bucharest!” Adrian Mutu said some time ago.

He played 47 matches for Argesh and scored 14 goals (including 6 matches and 3 goals in the UEFA Cup).

On March 2, 2022, Adrian Mutu was announced as Rapid’s head coach after having a hand at FC Voluntari, Al Wahda U21, Romania U21 and FC Craiova 1948.

In the last 10 direct matches (in the first two leagues and in the Romanian Cup), Rapid won six times, FC Arges won two meetings and two meetings ended in a draw.

Last season, Rapid won both matches against Argesh 1-0 away and 2-0 at home.

Superbet offers odds of 1.90 that Rapid will score at least two goals in the match against FC Argesh.
