A nice win for CFR Cluj last time playing, versus U Craiova 1948. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-0 with Paulino and Otele scoring for the victors.
Before that, a strong away victory at Alexandria. A Romania Cup match. The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.
