It is difficult to positively assess the prospects of Sibiu this year. This is an absolutely unimpressive team, which is in danger of being relegated from the top division of Romania. There is an experienced head coach here, but when the selection of players leaves much to be desired, it will be difficult to do something about it.
Rapid has become noticeably stronger since last season. Several high-quality foreign players, with experience in the best European leagues, appeared at once. We note the grown rate of steals this year; the team scores many points exactly in fast attacks.
We do not think the hosts will be able to compete with the favorite. The difference in the class of performers gives Rapid a high chance of success.
Our prediction: Rapid to win comfortably. We recommend the “2 Hand (-2.5)” bet, odds 1.75
