Rapid Bucharest vs. Hapoel Tel-Aviv

A dead game probably and both teams will most probably play just for the record. Rapid won surprisingly in Hapoel on first day but the game on the field didn't really reflect the result back then with Hapoel playing better than Rapid. After that result Rapid was hoping to qualify from the group but after the win there were 3 losses in a row and there is no more chance for them.
They played during weekend away at Pandurii where they were trashed 3:0 and lost some players to injury. They fell on 3rd place now at 5 points of the leader Dinamo and with injuries messing with their squad they will have a tough schedule coming up. Rapid will miss today Dan Alexa which is suspended following the red card in the game at Varsovia, Rui Duarte and Herea also missing through injury following their last game in the league, Glauber long time injury and Teixeira doubtful. They are all first team players and Lucescu will have to find substitutes for them for this game. I don't think Rapid will be pushing this hard as they don't need any more injuries for the future and they will try to concentrate on the fight for the title now.
I must admit I don't know much about Hapoel and info from anyone who follows this league/team would be highly appreciated as this could be a good bet to catch today. Hapoel is coming after a good run of result, last one being a 3:1 victory against Maccaby Tel-Aviv and if press is right and they come here to revenge that result in Hapoel they might put some in the back of Rapid's net. They have fast players, proved it when they were 3:1 at PSV also and with some chance and good morale, Hapoel should be winning this.
Maybe worth's mentioning that Rapid will play on National Arena, a stadium with a capacity of 55.000 seats, but there probably will be just around 5000 spectators there as this game has no importance for them. I like Hapoel's odds on asian handicap and if we could get some good info form Hapoel's point of view I think we could risk an away win also.

Selection: Away Win +0.5 AH @ 1,95
Selection: Away Win @ 4,25

I like as triple Manchester United, Rubin on Handicap or HT/FT and Club Brugge to score. Didn't make up my mind but my bet will run around these games.

Info on Hapoel would be nice. Good luck everyone!
