Rapid CFR Cluj betting prediction
Betting suggestion:
The most likely scenario for this clash will be a game with plenty of goals. Rapid have already produced a potent attack in their opening game and should adopt a very attacking stance in order to put on a good performance in front of their home fans. CFR, for their part, have had an intense schedule at the start, but they shouldn't be intimidated by playing away from home, as their squad looks very well organised. We're expecting an open and balanced game, with chances for both sides. Therefore, betting on both teams scoring in the match seems to be a good alternative.
Preview
Rapid and CFR meet at Stadionul Valentin Stănescu, in a match for the 2nd round of the Liga I. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history indicates total balance between these two teams, since there is a record of 2 draws and 3 wins for each team in the last 8 matches. However, the last time these teams met at this stadium was on 19‑05‑2025, in a match for the Liga I, CFR Cluj won by (1‑4). The goals of the match were scored by Mihai Alexandru Dobre (90' ), for Rapid, and by A. Păun (11' ), V. Postolachi (40' ), C. Deac (45' ) and Léo Bolgado (70' ), for CFR. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, since CFR presents significant differences between home and away performances.
Analysis Rapid
The home team comes to this 2nd round after a (0‑2) win in their league debut, against Argeş. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses in away matches; against 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses at their stadium. In the last 10 home matches Rapid has won 5, tied 1 and lost 4. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. They have conceded the first goal in 8 of their 15 matches, and have never been able to turn the score around.
Rapid got off to a good start this season, beating Arges 0-2 away from home, with both goals scored by Alexandru Dobre. The team is usually structured in a 4-3-3 formation and has managed to keep its main attacking players, most notably Claudiu Petrila and Alexandru Dobre. The latter even showed his mettle on his debut, being one of the most active players in attack.
Analysis CFR
The away team comes to this 2nd round after a (2‑1) win in their league debut, against Unirea Slobozia. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 8 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 24 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 12 wins and 3 draws at their stadium, with 36 goals scored and 11 conceded. In their last match, for the UEFA Europa League, they got a home win against Paksi SE by (3‑0). In the last 10 away matches CFR has won 2, tied 5 and lost 3. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have only turned the score around in 1.
CFR started the season with a last-minute home win over Slobozia 2-1, with goals from Virgiliu Postolac and Daniel Dumbrăvanu. In midweek the team played the second leg of the Europa League qualifying round, where they beat Paksi 3-0, with goals from Balázs Balogh, Alin Fica and Karlo Muhar, advancing in the competition. The team starts the season with a solid base, keeping both the coach and the main pieces of the squad, which guarantees a good level of familiarity and continuity in the work done so far. Left-back Simão Rocha, midfielder Lindon Emërllahu and centre-forward Stipe Juric are still unavailable through the medical department.
