CFR Cluj

DWWDWD 📈

Cluj prepare for this fixture following on from a 1-1 Liga I drawn match versus Sepsi Sfântu Gheorghe.

In that match, CFR Cluj managed 58% possession and 20 attempts on goal with 6 on target. The scorer for CFR Cluj was Mohamed Kamara (61'). Sepsi OSK got 13 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target.

Their most recent results highlight the fact that much respect should be given to the CFR Cluj defence. CFR Cluj have been mean at the back, seeing the tally of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper over the course of their past 6 outings standing at 4.

Gloria Buzău

LLLLLD ⚠

In their last fixture, Gloria Buzău drew 1-1 in the Liga I tie with UTA Arad.

In that match, Gloria Buzău had 54% possession and 17 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. For their opponents, UTA Arad got 14 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. Valentin Costache (90') was the scorer for UTA Arad.

The numbers tell their own story, and Gloria Buzău have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, with opponents netting 10 goals overall. Defensively, Gloria Buzău can certainly do much better. That pattern isn’t assured to follow through here, of course.

Coming into this contest, Gloria Buzău haven’t won away from home in the past 12 league games. Who knows how long it might last, too.

↔️ Head to head

The previous league match featuring the two was Liga I match day 15 on 01/11/2024 when it finished Gloria Buzău 0-1 CFR Cluj.

That day, Gloria Buzău had 49% possession and 9 shots on goal with 2 on target.

At the other end, CFR Cluj got 7 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. Virgiliu Postolachi (67') scored.

ℹ️ Team News: Cluj

We are thinking that Ceferiștii should go for a 4-3-3 formation and select Otto Hindrich, Simao Rocha, Leonardo Bolgado, Matei Cristian Ilie, Camora, Meriton Korenica, Lindon Emerllahu, Alin Razvan Fica, Beni Nkololo, Louis Munteanu and Mohammed Kamara.

📰 Team News: Gloria Buzău

There’s a good chance that Gloria Buzău might utilise a 4-2-3-1 system by sending out David Lazar, Alessandro Ciranni, Israel Puerto, Mike Cestor, Bradley de Nooijer, Luca Mihai, Constantin Albu, Alexandru Isfan, David Tavares, Cristian Benavente and Kevin Luckassen.

⚡ Prediction

Our feeling is that CFR Cluj should really get amongst the goals against Gloria Buzău, who may well struggle to score themselves.

We reckon that it will be a decent 2-0 win for CFR Cluj by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
