With the nervous opening game out of the way it’s time for the second Liga 1 game of the season. Academica Clinceni look forward to welcoming CFR Cluj in front of their home support.

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 was also an away game, at Lincoln Red Imps. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
