It's a new Liga 1 campaign and Academica Clinceni are eager to get started here at Stadionul Clinceni - Arena 1. CFR Cluj are coming to visit and this should be a thrilling season kickoff.

CFR Cluj could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Champions League game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Floriana, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for CFR Cluj.
