Day 60: We're backing Rapid Bucharest to beat Steaua Bucharest at [2.06]
After Friday's fantastic success backing Cottbus against Ingolstadt in the German second-tier, we're starting the week with a wager on a match taking place somewhere that we rarely venture - Romania.
It's been a weekend full of capital derbies, with Lazio hosting Roma, Real Madrid welcoming Atletico Madrid and Hibernian suffering at the hands of Hearts and there's still one more still to come as Rapid Bucharest face Rapid Bucharest this evening, in a game we fancy the home side to win at [2.06].
Rapid are third in Liga 1, clear of both their city rivals Steaua and Dinamo, and have the chance to return to second with three points. The form book definitely reads in their favour - they've yet to be beaten at home, while Steaua have suffered four successive away defeats on their league travels.
Additionally, Rapid haven't lost any of their last four clashes with Steaua and were 5-1 victors in the most recent collision back in April.
Summer signing Cassio, one of many Brazilian players in their squad, has hit top form in recent weeks, netting seven times in his last seven league appearances to ease the goalscoring burden on midfielder Ovidiu Herea, so don't be surprised if he adds to his tally against Steaua's increasingly leaky defence.
Our bet: We're backing Rapid Bucharest to beat Steaua Bucharest at [2.06], meaning that - before factoring in commission - we stand to win £10.60.
