CFR Cluj Universitatea Craiova betting prediction
 CFR |
|  U Craiova |
Betting suggestion:
The most likely scenario for this clash will be an eventful game. CFR must do their utmost to put on a good performance in front of their home fans in this competition, but defensive solidity has not been their strong suit. Universitatea Craiova, on the other hand, tend to drop off when playing away from home, but their attack has shown impressive numbers so far. We're expecting an open and balanced game, with chances for both sides. Therefore, betting in favour of the "Both Teams Score - Yes" market seems to be a good option for this match.

In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Rapid Bucuresti, by (1‑1). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Argeş, by (0‑2).

CFR were disappointed last time out to suffer their first defeat of the competition, losing 0-2 at home to Arges. On the other hand, the team is playing in the Europa League qualifying round in midweek and advanced over Lugano after extra time. The team generally plays in a 4-3-3 formation, relying on the attacking strength of Virgiliu Postolachi, Ciprian Deac and Louis Munteanu. Among them, Postolachi has been the most effective with his finishing, standing out as the team's main finisher in Super League matches. Left-back Simão Rocha, midfielders Karlo Muhar and Lindon Emërllahu and left-winger Mohammed Kamara are all injured and will miss the next matchday.
Confirmed Lineup: Otto Hindrich, Matei Ilie, Aly Abeid , Léo Bolgado, Mário Camora , Adrian Păun, Alin Fică, Damjan Djokovic, Andres Sfait , Meriton Korenica, Marko Gjorgjievski.

In their last match, for the Europa Conference League, they got a home win against Sarajevo by (4‑0). In the last 10 away matches U Craiova has won 2, tied 2 and lost 6.

Goalkeeper Laurențiu Popescu remains unavailable due to injury.
