Preview
Rapid and U Cluj face at Stadionul Valentin Stănescu, in a match for the 8th round of the Liga I. The head‑to‑head history of the last 3 years favours the home team, since in the last 3 matches they won 2 and tied 1. The last head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 27‑01‑2021, and ended in a (1‑0) win by Rapid Bucuresti. Both teams register significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth atention.

Analysis Rapid

After 5 wins and 2 losses, the home team is in the 2nd position, havinf won 12 points so far. In the last match, they have won in an away match against Sepsi by (1‑2), after in the previous match they have won (1‑0) at home, against UTA Arad. 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 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 29 goals scored and 19 conceded. Rapid has won 8 and lost 2 of the last 10 home matches. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 5 of the last 7 matches for this competition.

Rapid has made a good start to the season, as their attack has shown a lot of regularity. However, their defense has left something to be desired, especially playing away from home, despite having achieved a victory in this condition in the last game. Now, the team tries to take advantage of the good moment to add three more points in front of his fans. Coach Adrian Mutu must adopt the usual tactical system: the 4-3-3, organizing attacks through the wings. Right-back Claudiu Belu and striker Jakub Vojtus are injured and will be absent for the match.

Confirmed Lineup: Horațiu Moldovan, Cristian Săpunaru, Junior Maranhão, Damien Dussaut, Ljuban Crepulja, Ștefan Pănoiu, Alexandru Ioniță, Andrei Ciobanu, Paul Iacob, Marko Dugandžić, Alexandru Măţan.
Coach: C. Bergodi.

Analysis U Cluj

The away team is currently in the 14th position of the league, with 3 points won, after 3 draws and 4 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Sepsi, by (0‑1). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Voluntari, by (0‑0). 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 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 10 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 7 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses at their stadium, with 31 goals scored and 17 conceded. In the last 4 away league matches U Cluj has a record of 2 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 2 points out of 12 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 7 matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 6 of the last 7 matches for this competition. In the last 5 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 3 of their 6 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

Universitatea Cluj is off to a bad start to the season, as they haven't won any game yet, in addition to having conceded more than twice as many goals as they scored. Now, the team tries to increase their defensive strength by playing away from home, as this is the best condition for their attack. Coach Erik Lincar should adopt the usual tactical formation: the 4-2-3-1, always looking for his striker Adrian Ionut Balan. Left-back Florinel Mitrea is injured and will be absent for the match.

Confirmed Lineup: Andrei Gorcea, Alexandru Chipciu, Roberto Romeo, Marius Briceag, Andrei Pițian, Denis Ispas, Ovidiu Bic, Ioan Filip, Romário Pires, Ely Fernandes, Adrian Ionuț Bălan.
Coach: E. Neagoe.
