Tonight's Uefa Cup encounter, in Bucharest, which involves
Romanian team Rapid against French giants Paris Saint Germain,
is a very interesting one.
At the weekend, Rapid won against Gloria Bistrita, 4-0.
PSG also won their own fixture in Ligue 1, 4-1, at home, against Sedan.
Another interesting thing I'll tell u is that Rapid conceded just once
in their European campaign last year, on their home ground. That
was against Steaua, in the quarterfinals. But that happened just
because Steaua knows Rapid better than any other team from abroad.
In that campaign big teams from Europe travelled to Romania.
Teams like Feyernoord Rotterdam, Hertha Berlin, Stade Rennais and
Hamburger SV. They couldn't score against Rapid.
Now for PSG. Coach Guy Lacombe will reportedly start without his best
2 strikers, Pedro Pauleta and Bonavantoure Kalou, as he rests them for
the Ligue 1 clash against rivals Auxerre. Therefore he should line-up a very
defensive squad, tonight, against Rapid.
Rapid only has some trouble in attack where, veteran striker, Viorel
Moldovan is uncertain, but should play, as he is eager to face his old
team-mate from Nantes Atlantique, goalkeeper Mickael Landreau. The
last one revealed that it'll be akward to play against Vio, as he is such a
good player (he was, once, the best scorer in the Ligue 1).
So, I say Rapid won't concede tonight against PSG (17/10).
