On the 23rd matchday of the Romania Liga I, FC Universitatea Cluj will play Rapid Bucuresti 1923 in Cluj Napoca.
The last time these teams competed against one another was less than a year ago. On December 7, 2022, the match took place in Cluj-Napoca at the Cluj Arena. Fans are hoping that the upcoming match will not end in a 0-0 draw as the previous one did. However, with Rapid Bucuresti 1923 winning the majority of the last three games, fans and the manager are putting even more pressure on UCL. In terms of goals, Rapid Bucuresti 1923 leads because they have scored two in each of the last three games, while FC Universitatea Cluj has not scored a single goal.
Due to the likely extreme cold during the game, players may experience difficulties. Wind shouldn’t be a problem at all because gusts are only expected to reach 2 kilometers per hour.
Rapid Bucuresti 1923, who currently occupy the fourth spot in the league, will need to demonstrate that they are deserving of the lead; given that FC Universitatea Cluj is ten positions behind.
