Europa Conference League: Group Stage between Randers and CFR Cluj

Not a lot of time to rest for the host team, as they performed in a Superliga game only four days earlier. This match was also played here at Cepheus Park Randers. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, CFR Cluj have had more rest.

CFR Cluj have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
