Balance is the dominant note of the Unirea Urziceni vs. Rapid Bucharest derby that will take place on Saturday at 10 PM on leg two of League I Bergenbier. Four of the eight head-to-head games that the two teams played ended in a draw and each team won two games. The balance sheet is symmetric, with each team winning a game both at home and away. Their latest game, played at Urziceni, was won by the home side, score 1-0. Rapid has not defeated Unirea in the last two seasons, its last victory dating back to April 23, 2008 (1-0 in an away game). Unirea comes after two goalless draws – one against Pandurii in League I and one against Zenit in the Champions League qualifiers – and could suffer from fatigue on Saturday. Universitatea Craiova has not defeated Steaua in a very long time. The team’s last home-side victory dates back to 2002. The last away game that Universitatea won against Steaua dates back to 1989 (2-1). Dinamo vs. Sportul is another traditional derby, set to reach its 61st edition this leg. Dinamo won 32 games and Sportul 16. The last game that the two teams played dates back to April 29, 2006, and was eventful, with Sportul winning its away game, score 5-4, but being demoted at the end of that season. Otelul Galati and Pandurii finished their last head-to-head game in a draw, score 1-1. Universitatea Cluj has won only 3 of the 29 games it has played against Brasov. Its latest victory dates back to 1997, the date of the two teams’ last head-to-head game. Brasov won 21 home-side games against U Cluj. FC Vaslui and CFR Cluj will play against FCM Tg. Mures and Victoria Branesti respectively for the first time, with the host teams being clear favorites.
