Universitatea Craiova CFR Cluj betting prediction

|  CFR |
Betting suggestion:
The most likely scenario for this match will be a good result for the hosts. Universitatea Craiova need to get back to winning ways if they want to secure a place in European competition, and they'll have to adopt a very dominant attitude playing in their best condition. CFR, on the other hand, are playing in their worst condition, where they have yet to win. We expect an open game, dominated by the hosts, but with chances for both sides. Therefore, betting on Universitatea Craiova's Asian Handicap 0 (or draw cancels bet) in the match seems like a good alternative.

Analysis U Craiova
The home team is currently in the 3rd position of the league, with 36 points won, after 17 wins, 11 draws and 9 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Universitatea Cluj, by (2‑1). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Rapid Bucuresti, by (1‑2). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 19 goals scored and 14 conceded; against 9 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 13 conceded. In the last 10 home league matches U Craiova has a record of 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 20 points out of 30 possible. Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 16 of their 37 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 2.
Universitatea Craiova are still in third place, but suffered a disappointing 1-2 home defeat to Rapid last time out, their goal scored by Vasile Mogoș. With the 4-3-3 as the predominant tactical design, the team has Alexandru Mitriță as its main attacking name, breaking through defenses with short dribbles and accelerations that destabilize any marking system; he is the one who scores the most goals. Alongside him, Lyes Houri and Alisson Safira reinforce the offensive power, playing with a keen reading of the game and contributing both assists and accurate finishes, keeping the team always present in the rival camp. Defender and left winger Luis Paradela and striker Alexandru Cicâldău are still out with medical problems and are likely to miss the next match.

CFR are already a long way off Champions League qualification, but they have been improving, coming back to beat Universitatea Cluj 1-0 at home in the last round with a goal from Meriton Korenica for his side. Structured in a 4-3-3, the team concentrates its attacking strengths on the trio of Meriton Korenica, Louis Munteanu and Mohammed Kamara, who play with intensity and constant movement in the opponent's half. Despite being the team's top scorer, Munteanu has not yet managed to stand out as expected in this decisive phase. In the middle, Béni Nkololo is in charge of the offensive transition, distributing the game with precision and speeding up the action. The squad is likely to be complete for the next match.
