Florin Prunea, before Dinamo – Rapid: “It will be 2-1”
With over 25,000 tickets sold 3 days before the match, Florin Prunea expects a derby like it hasn't been in a long time between Dinamo and Rapid.
“I say it will be 2-1 for Dinamo. It's as if an effervescence has been created and it will be a derby like it hasn't been in a long time.
I hope there will be more than 30,000 fans in the stands”, said Florin Prunea, on the show “Fotbal Club, from Digi Sport.
Daniel Pancu was also in the studio, and the former youth national team coach said that on Sunday, he was obviously with Rapid, the team in whose shirt he wrote history. However, he is not very optimistic.
“I want Rapid to beat, but… That's not what we want. It's derbies and you can expect anything“.
Before the derby, Rapid occupies second place in the Superliga, with 25 points. Dinamo is on 4th place, with 23. With a favorable game of results, the team that will impose itself on the National Arena will be able to finish the stage in first place.

Rapidists clearly have a moral upper hand in head-to-head matches. Dinamo has not defeated Rapid in an official match since April 1, 2015. Then, the “dogs” prevailed in Ștefan cel mare with a score of 2-0.
In the previous season, Rapid won one match, score 1-0, and the other 3 meetings ended in a draw, 0-0, 0-0, 1-1.
