Match Preview
CFR Cluj will host Universitatea Craiova at Stadionul Dr. Constantin Rădulescu on Sunday, 3 August, in a Liga 1 clash that promises to be intriguing. Cluj's recent form has been inconsistent, with just one win in their last five matches (DLLLW), while Craiova comes into the game on a high, having secured four consecutive victories (WLWWW). This contrast in momentum could play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the match. Historically, the head-to-head record favours Craiova, who have won five of the last ten encounters, while Cluj has managed only two victories. Notably, both teams have shown a tendency to score, as evidenced by the fact that five of their last ten meetings ended with both teams finding the net. With odds of 1.83 for BTTS and Cluj's need to bounce back, expect an open game where both sides will likely create chances. The home advantage may not be enough to stifle Craiova's current form, making this match a potential goal fest.
