CFR Cluj form and stats
CFR Cluj, who have the fewest conceded goals (9) in Liga 1, have played 10 Liga 1 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-4-2 (wins-draws-losses).
In the match before that, Cluj hosted Astra and drew the game 1-1.
Manager E. Iordănescu felt very clever after Alexandru Păun scored the winning goal against Chindia Târgovişte, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 7th minute.
There will be little rest for Cluj after this match as they are travelling to Botoşani for a Liga 1 game in only four days.
The CFR Cluj fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 10 matches. From these home matches, CFR Cluj have conceded only 6 goals.
Viitorul form and stats
The visitors are W2-D5-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Liga 1. Viitorul has showed their ability to avoid defeat with five draws in a row, but are also dodging victories. They last avoided the draw 25 days ago, in the Hermannstadt fixture. It's three draws from Viitorul's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Astra (placed 13th) in their previous outing. The Liga 1 match ended in a draw 1-1. Preceding that match was the 3-3 draw at home vs Sepsi.
A quick return to home after this game, as Viitorul are hosting Voluntari in the Liga 1 only four days away.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Viitorul as they have only managed to score 9 times from 10 away games in the league. Viitorul are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 9 times in 10 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
