It has been all too rare in recent games that CFR Cluj have shown defensive steel. The facts show that CFR Cluj have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 6 goals along the way. It will be interesting to find out if that trend will end up being sustained in this game.
Hermannstadt
DDLWLW ⚖
Hermannstadt will go into the encounter following on from a 4-1 Liga I win in the defeat of Oţelul Galaţi in their previous game.
In that match, Hermannstadt had 41% possession and 9 attempts at goal with 7 on target. The only player to score for Hermannstadt was Ianis Stoica (26', 49'). For their opponents, Oţelul Galaţi had 16 shots on goal with 1 of them on target.
In 5 of the previous 6 games involving Hermannstadt, a relatively low number of goals have been scored between them and their opposition. The overall average number of goals per game in that period comes to just 1.83, with the number of goals averaged by Sibienii being 1.
Heading into this contest, Hermannstadt haven’t won away from home in the past 13 league matches. What a horror away run it has been.
👥 Head to head
Looking over their prior head-to-head clashes going back to 01/12/2019 shows that Cluj have won 3 of these & Hermannstadt 2, with the number of drawn games standing at 1.
A combined total of 14 goals were scored between the two sides in this period, with 8 for Ceferiștii and 6 coming from Sibienii. That is an average goals per game value of 2.33.
The last league match featuring these sides was Liga I match day 15 on 06/11/2023 when the final score was Hermannstadt 1-0 CFR Cluj.

On the other side, CFR Cluj got 10 shots on goal with 3 of them on target.
🗞️ Team News: Cluj
The Cluj manager Andrea Mandorlini will be grateful not to have any fitness concerns whatsoever before this match owing to a fully injury-free group to choose from.
It looks as if Ceferiștii look set to make use of the 4-3-3 formation for the game featuring Razvan Sava, Cristian Manea, Matija Boben, Arlind Ajeti, Aly Abeid, Karlo Muhar, Kader Keita, P. Tachtsidis, Alin Razvan Fica, Daniel Birligea and Philip Otele.
🗞️ Team News: Hermannstadt
From a largely full-strength group, there is just a single fitness worry for the Hermannstadt gaffer Eugen Neagoe to be concerned with. Dragoș Iancu (Broken fibula) won’t be in action.
We believe Sibienii might make use of a 4-4-2 formation, settling for Catalin Cabuz, Mihai Butean, Valerica Gaman, Florin Bejan, Raul Oprut, Silviu Balaure, Sota Mino, Alessandro Murgia, Ianis Stoica, Gabriel Iancu and Daniel Paraschiv.
💡 Prediction
CFR Cluj are likely to see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.
In contrast, Hermannstadt could well struggle to score a goal of their own but we do fancy them getting enough chances to score, too.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a pretty comfortable 3-1 win for CFR Cluj at the end of this one.
