Young Boys and CFR Cluj get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Europa League Group Stage fixture.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
2 - 0 - 1 with 3-1. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for CFR Cluj when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. CFR Cluj play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.
CFR Cluj have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Young Boys form and stats
Young participated in Europa League the last season, where they reached the group stage.4 victories, 1 draw and 0 defeats. That’s what Young Boys have to build on here at Stadion Neufeld in the Super League. On the other hand, in the Europa League, Young Boys has performed like this (both home and away): 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. Young has a nice streak going on as they have played 15 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Basel defeat 151 days ago.
Young Boys enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Luzern's place. The match ended 3-2 with Jean-Pierre Nsame, Ulisses Garcia and Christian Fassnacht scoring. A Europa League defeat was the result before that one, 1-3 away at Roma.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Young Boys as they have a new game in only three days, a Super League match thankfully also at home. Servette are visiting.
The Young fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 5 matches. Young have only conceded 3 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
CFR Cluj form and stats
Cluj was sent out of Europa League in the 16th finals last season.Rock solid. That's the only way to describe the travels of CFR Cluj so far, with 5-1-0 (wins-draws-losses) so far. Those are Liga 1 statistics. When we have look at the Europa League statistics, we find 3W-2D-2L. This is both home and away. Cluj are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played 14 in a row without losing.
Cluj play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-0 victory visiting CSM Iasi. Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against CSKA Sofia in the Europa League.
A new game in only three days for Cluj, the Liga 1 home match versus FCSB. Busy days.
Cluj are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 10 times in 6 away games so far. The Cluj defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (2 goals in 6 games).
