📋 Team News: Cluj

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just a single fitness concern for the Cluj boss Dan Petrescu to contend with thanks to an otherwise robust group. Ciprian Deac (Shoulder Injury) is sidelined.

In all likelihood, Ceferiștii look set to go for a 4-4-2 formation for this game featuring Simone Scuffet, Cristian Manea, Denis Kolinger, Andrei Burca, Ionut Peteleu, Alin Razvan Fica, Lovro Cvek, B. Adjei-Boateng, Claudiu Petrila, Rangelo Janga and Daniel Birligea.

ℹ️ Team News: Farul Constanța

Due to a fully healthy squad to pick from, the Farul Constanța boss Gheorghe Hagi has zero fitness concerns at all before this game.

We’re of the thinking that Farul Constanța could decide to utilise a 4-3-3 formation, giving starts to Alexandru Buzbuchi, Dan Sirbu, Ionut Larie, Kevin Boli, Rolandas Baravykas, Tudor Baluta, Andrei Artean, Carlo Casap, Adrian Mazilu, Louis Munteanu and Enes Sali.

💭 Prediction

We feel that in this game, Farul Constanța should be able to score a goal against this CFR Cluj lineup, although that might not quite be as many as they will have scored against them.
