The CFR Cluj & Sepsi managers E. Iordănescu and L. Grozavu are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Liga 1 league table.
- CFR Cluj have the most clean sheets (23) in Liga 1
- Sepsi have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
The hosts Cluj saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Liga 1. That game was an away game at Academica Clinceni, so at least Cluj are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
