How it turned out
The game finished with 0 goals.
What we said beforehand
I like this pick because the price looks good for a game that could be quite tight. We think there won't be many clear chances to score, which suggests not many goals will be scored. The odds of under 2.5 goals seem about right to us.
What the numbers say
✓UTA Arad have won two of their last five.
✓FC Rapid Bucuresti are unbeaten in their last five — two wins and three draws.
✓Three of the last five meetings finished under 2.5 goals.
✓Both teams scored in three of the last five meetings.

One thing to watch
A goal against the run of play opens the game up, and a tight total can slip away fast. The price is shorter than our own read of about 58%, so there's less value here than the number suggests.
