Owing to a completely healthy squad available to choose from, the Rapid Bucharest manager has no fitness worries at all ahead of this clash.

We believe Giuleștenii seem likely to make use of a 4-3-3 formation, starting Horatiu Moldovan, Razvan Onea, Cristian Sapunaru, Dragos Grigore, Junior Morais, Cristian Albu, Ljuban Crepulja, Alexandru Ionita, Antonio Sefer, Marko Dugandzic and Jayson Papeau.
