Struggling Hermannstadt will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying CFR Cluj in the upcoming league round. It's 13th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

CFR Cluj could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Europa League game only three sleeps ago. That game, against Lazio, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for CFR Cluj.
