What to expect

We expect about 1.3 goals from Otelul and 1.1 from FC Rapid Bucuresti, so Otelul come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.4 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Our pick: Under 2.5 goals. This has the look of a cagey, low-scoring game — around 2.4 goals in total (xG 1.3-1.1), keeping it under more often than not (about 58%). Clear chances should be at a premium.

We put the chance of that landing at about 58 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.68, which works out at about 60 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.

Otelul have won one of their last five.
FC Rapid Bucuresti have won two of their last five.

One thing to watch

A goal against the run of play opens the game up, and a tight total can slip away fast. We make it about 58% and the price sits right on top of that, so there's little cushion if it turns.
