Universitatea Cluj are returning here after guesting Ceahlaul Piatra Neamt in a Romania Cup game and winning with a 4-2 scoreline.

A 2-2 draw away in the Liga 1 before that, with Hermannstadt the opponent.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Universitatea handle that role? We have found 11 games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are 6 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.

Goals from both sides! That has happened in 5 league fixtures in a row for this club. Could it happen again?

Universitatea Cluj are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Universitatea Cluj have allowed the opposition to score 8 goals here at Cluj Arena.
