Prediction
In our opinion, Steaua Bucharest will, in all likelihood, get a lot of shots on goal and make them count.
Conversely, Universitatea Cluj will be up against it to get shooting opportunities but we do fancy them being dangerous at times.
We’re therefore anticipating a pretty comfortable 3-1 margin for Steaua Bucharest come full-time.
