That’s what CFR Cluj have to build on here at Stadionul Dr. Constantin Rădulescu in the Liga 1. 3W-0D-0L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the Europa League for CFR Cluj. Cluj has a nice streak going on as they have played 13 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away).

A strong away win for CFR Cluj against Voluntari the last match, as Cătălin Itu were on target. Before that match, a Europa League win away at CSKA Sofia.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Cluj, as the Liga 1 home game vs Gaz Metan Medias is only three days away.

Young Boys form and stats

They also participated in Europa League last season. This ended in the group stage.

Things could have gone better for Young Boys in their Super League away matches, but 2 points from 2 games is all right. Things are running smoothly for Young who hasn't tasted defeat in their last eleven matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Basel. Two points from the last two away games for Young, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

The supporters enjoyed Young's previous game versus Luzern, a Super League 2-1 win played at home. Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Roma.

Young has another fixture away, a Super League game, against Lugano in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

Young Boys have the goal stats of 0-0 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
