CFR Cluj have performed really well this season, proven by 4th spot in the table. Petrolul 52 have an outlook both ways from their 6th spot.

Insights:
  • CFR Cluj have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Petrolul 52 have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Petrolul 52 could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Romania Cup game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Viitorul Selimbar. 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.
