CFR Cluj II form and stats

The story so far in the 3. Liga: Series 5 for CFR Cluj II at their home stadium (Stadionul CMC) is 3 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for CFR Cluj II with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Unirea Dej game, 133 days ago, have they avoided a loss. We have seen two home losses in a row now for CFR Cluj II, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

A decent goal production from CFR Cluj II in their home games so far, with 12 goals from 8 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 13 goals have been conceded.
