Command Analysis
CS Petrocub
Moldova, Republic ofCurrent form
Petrocub sensationally became the champion of Moldova last season. The situation in this league for a long time resembled the Bulgarian championship, as Sheriff had not given up the title to anyone since 2016. But Andrei Martin team won the decisive tournament of the top six with a huge advantage, and also won the country cup. However, the team from Hincesti is not holding the new tournament as the management and coaching staff wanted. The club is in third place in the standings and is 12 points behind the leader Sheriff. In the last match, the team rolled out a draw with Sparta Selemet (1:1).
Petrocub also performs with varying success on the international stage. The Moldovans were knocked out of the Champions League by a much more experienced European Cup fighter, Cypriot APOEL, lost to Ludogorets in the Europa League and represent their country in the UEFA Conference League. The team occupies 34th place in the main draw, and in the last round they suffered a defeat from Polish Jagiellonia (0:2).

1.52Tip and bets
Petrocub performance is at a catastrophically low level. But Rapid scores a lot, and on the road against an opponent who is clearly inferior in class, they should score at least a couple of goals. In the five past matches of the guests in all tournaments, the total was less, which is what we expect today.
Forecast - total under 3.5 goals with odds of 1.60
Bet on the outcome
"Petrokub" will have a hard time fighting in the Conference League with stronger and more experienced clubs. The chances of success for the team from Moldova against the second club of Austria look zero. "Rapid" should crush such a modest opponent, even playing on an away field. We believe that the Viennese club will easily cope with an opponent of a lower class and win with a minus handicap.
Forecast - Asian handicap (-1.5) for Rapid with odds of 1.75
Bet on total
A goal against Rapid will have to wait until at least the next game - Petrocub attack does not manifest itself at all away from home. In four away matches in the European Cup tournaments of the 2024/25 season, the "black and whites" have not scored a single goal. It is unlikely that this will happen in the upcoming match.
Prediction - "Petrokub" will not score with odds of 1.80
