CFR Cluj look forward to fight against SSC Farul in this Liga 1 game. All you can learn about the game is right here!

Insights:
  • CFR Cluj have the most scored goals in the first half (7) in Liga 1
  • SSC Farul have not yet lost a game.

These are busy days for the team playing at home, as they had a match only three days ago in the Europa Conference League. This match was also played here at Stadionul Dr. Constantin Rădulescu. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, SSC Farul have had more rest.

CFR Cluj form and stats

CFR Cluj have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the Liga 1. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.

CFR Cluj's previous fixture was a Europa Conference League game also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Maribor. The home team are looking to continue in that form.

In the match before, 0-0 away to Maribor (Europa Conference League). The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how CFR Cluj have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 5 games) they have won 2 times, drawn 1 and lost 2.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Voluntari are coming to town in three days.

A decent goal production from Cluj in their home games so far, with 5 goals from 3 league matches.

SSC Farul form and stats

SSC Farul are still undefeated on their travels in the Liga 1. They have only played two games though, winning one and drawing the other.

SSC Farul had fun at their own home (Stadionul Dr. Constantin Rădulescu) last time out, beating Voluntari 2-1. Larie and Alibec scored. Those three points felt good as this club had gone three league games without victory.

A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Hermannstadt.

SSC Farul are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 4 wins, 5 draws and 5 defeats. From a total of 14 matches.

After this away game Farul return home for a Liga 1 game against FCSB. That game is only three sleeps after this.

It's early days yet, but SSC Farul has scored 3 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

CFR Cluj have avoided defeat in the last 4 games (3-1-0) against SSC Farul.
