Since being beaten in their last game against Steaua Bucharest in Liga 1 Play Offs competition, Cluj and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

Florinel Coman (49') scored for Steaua Bucharest.

📋 Team News: Sepsi Sfântu Gheorghe

The Sepsi Sfântu Gheorghe boss Leontin Grozavu does not have any fitness worries whatsoever before this clash thanks to a completely injury-free squad ready to go.

It looks as if Alb-roșii could opt for a 4-4-2 formation for this game with Razvan Catalin Began, Mihai Balasa, Branislav Ninaj, Mark Tamas, Andres Dumitrescu, Ion Gheorghe, Nicolae Paun, Jonathan Rodriguez, Roland Varga, Alexandru Tudorie and Pavol Safranko.

📋 Team News: Cluj

Thanks to a largely available squad, there is only a single fitness problem for the Cluj boss Dan Petrescu to contend with. Ciprian Deac (Shoulder Injury) misses out for this game.

We reckon that Ceferiștii appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup by sending out Simone Scuffet, Cristian Manea, Yuri, Andrei Burca, Camora, Lovro Cvek, B. Adjei-Boateng, Alin Razvan Fica, Daniel Birligea, Claudiu Petrila and Rangelo Janga.

🔮 Prediction

In our view, Sepsi Sfântu Gheorghe could find themselves struggling to put one past this CFR Cluj lineup who we reckon should win and very possibly keep a clean sheet.

We therefore see a good battle with a 0-1 win for CFR Cluj when all is said and done.

Hopefully it’s a good one.
