2nd position in the Liga 2 table for Universitatea Cluj so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 11th-placed Concordia Chiajna visits Cluj Arena.
The hosts Universitatea Cluj saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Liga 2. That game was an away game at Sporting Turnu, so at least Universitatea Cluj are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
