WDLLL
Universitatea Cluj suffered a 1-0 loss to UTA Arad in their last game despite having 71% possession of the ball and 26 goal attempts. They dominated the game in all areas but couldn’t find a way to get a point. They have lost their last three games despite dominating all. They sit third on the table with 30 points in 18 games, scoring 25 goals and conceding 15.
CFR Cluj
WDWDW
In their last game, CFR Cluj got a 2-1 win over Ceahlaul in the Romania Cup. They will now return to the league, where they defeated Univ. Craiova 2-0 in their last game. They remain unbeaten in their previous ten games in all competitions. They have not lost a game on the road this season and have picked up more away points (16) than any team this season. They sit second on the table with 31 points in 18 games, scoring 30 goals and conceding 20.
H2H
Both sides have met 18 times since 2010. Universitatea Cluj won 3, CFR Cluj won 8 and 7 ended in draws. The last game between them ended 3-2 in favour of Universitatea Cluj.
Expert Betting Tips
Despite a good start to the season, Universitatea Cluj are having a difficult time at the moment and have picked up more points (4) than only Gloria Buzau (3) in their last five games. However, CFR Cluj have always dominated the derby, unbeaten in 17 of their previous 20 meetings. With this, I expect the visitors to pick up at least a point in this clash, though both sides are strong enough to get goals.
