Match Preview
Universitatea Craiova hosts Universitatea Cluj at Stadionul Ion Oblemenco on Monday evening, with both teams looking to solidify their positions in Liga 1. Craiova enters the match in stronger form, having secured four wins in their last five outings, while Cluj has struggled recently, managing just one victory in their last five matches. This disparity in form could play a pivotal role in the outcome of the fixture. Historically, this matchup has been tightly contested, with the last ten encounters ending in five wins for Craiova and five draws, indicating a competitive rivalry. Notably, both teams have shown a tendency to score, with six of the last ten meetings featuring both teams finding the net. Given Craiova's home advantage and current momentum, they are favoured to take all three points, but Cluj's ability to respond under pressure should not be underestimated. With odds of 1.67 for both teams to score and 1.9 for over 2.5 goals, betting on a high-scoring affair could be a prudent angle for this clash.
