This could be an interesting match as Botosani have their presumed home advantage while CFR Cluj are ahead 12 points in the Liga 1 table.
It's no vacation for neither Botoşani nor CFR Cluj as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
