Rapid have maintained a solid defensive structure away from home, keeping clean sheets against both Petrolul Ploiesti and Uta Arad while conceding just two goals across their last four competitive fixtures. While Politehnica Timisoara have enjoyed recent scoring form, stepping into cup competition against top-level opposition typically leads to tighter spaces and fewer clear-cut scoring opportunities.

Rapid have built their strong start on defensive reliability, allowing only 0.5 goals per match overall and claiming three clean sheets in six league outings. Universitatea Craiova have yet to win an away league match this season, conceding six times across two away trips, and come into this fixture on short rest following a trip to Ararat-Armenia. Backing Rapid on the double chance covers both the home victory and the stalemate, which has landed in four of the last ten meetings between these sides.
