FC Botosani vs FC Rapid Bucuresti

A pick that protects the smaller side FC Botosani host FC Rapid Bucuresti, one of the big clubs of Romanian football. The pick covers the hosts avoiding defeat, and it must be said plainly that it's a contrarian choice. Where the risk sits Botosani are a mid-tier club, Rapid have far greater ambition, squad and following: asking the hosts not to leave beaten means protecting the less-equipped of the two. Home advantage helps, and in the early part of a season the pecking order is less clear than usual, but it stays barely more than a coin flip: I read it around 52%. The confidence of 5 honestly captures that uncertainty, and it's the right call for a market of this kind.
