Prediction
Our feeling is that Oţelul Galaţi will need to push hard to see themselves scoring against this CFR Cluj outfit who we think might end up scoring and possibly keep a clean sheet as well.
We’re therefore anticipating a very competitive game with a 0-1 winning score for CFR Cluj at the end of the 90 minutes.
Little in this one.
