What to expect
We expect about 0.9 goals from Petrolul and 1.1 from FC Rapid Bucuresti, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 2.0 goals in the game, so we are braced for a tight one where good chances are rare.
Our pick: Under 2.5 goals. This has the look of a cagey, low-scoring game — around 2.0 goals in total (xG 0.9-1.1), keeping it under more often than not (about 62%). Clear chances should be at a premium.
We put the chance of that landing at about 62 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.65, which works out at about 61 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.

One thing to watch
Cagey games can burst open late, and a couple of goals in the closing stages would be enough to catch this out. We make it about 62% and the price sits right on top of that, so there's little cushion if it turns.
