The CFR Cluj manager D. Petrescu attacks this game with the team placed 2nd so far. In the visitors dressing room Chindia Târgovişte and their manager E. Săndoi are in 10th place before this match.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
CFR Cluj form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for CFR Cluj's two home games in the Liga 1 so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Stadionul Dr. Constantin Rădulescu.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Cluj, as their goalkeeper Cristian Emanuel Balgradean has completely shut out the opponents for 312 minutes in the Liga 1.
Happy days for Cluj in their previous game, a Liga 1 match away at Astra (placed 16th) that ended with a 2-0 victory. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Hermannstadt in a game that was won 1-0.
The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for Cluj home games with this odds we find five games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in five wins, zero draws and zero defeats. Looking at the victories, two matches were won by at least two goals.
