At the stadium in “Regie”, Sunday at 10:30, Rapid Bucharest will receive the visit of Gloria Buzau.
The confrontation will be played in the eighth round of the Second League, perhaps the most publicized and most disputed in the history of Romanian football.
Daniel Pancu’s students managed to recover quickly after the defeat suffered two stages ago on their own ground with the future of Pandurii Tg. Jiu, clearly managing to defeat FC Argeș, one of the counter-candidates to the promotion, with a score of 2-0. With 13 points accumulated and a 10-7 goal, Rapid is in 5th place with three points from Sunday’s “Regie” opponent, Gloria Buzău who can equal in case of a success.
Newly promoted in the second league, Ilie Stan’s team had a very good run in the first 7 rounds, being second place with 16 points and a goal of 14-3. Gloria is undefeated in the traveling duels where she won 2-1 and 2-0 in front of the Timisoara Ripensia respectively “U” Cluj, drawing 0-0 at Tg. Jiu with Pandurii.
Despite the good track record they have in the second league, where they are on the promotion spot, Gloria Buzau has no right of promotion in the first football league in Romania, because it is an entity of public law, not of law private as required by UEFA regulations.
PREDICTION: FC Rapid Bucuresti to win @ 1,98
