Universitatea Cluj Universitatea Craiova betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this clash will be a game with lots of goals. This is a direct confrontation for places in the UEFA competitions, so both teams, who have demonstrated efficient attacks, must adopt an offensive posture, since a draw cannot be considered a good result for anyone. With that in mind, we expect an open and balanced game, with chances for both sides. Therefore, betting on both teams to score seems to be a good alternative.

Universitatea Cluj are in contention for a place in European competition, picking up an important win in the last round, where they beat Rapid 0-2 away from home, with goals from Issouf Macalou and Ovidiu Bic. In a 4-3-1-2 formation, the team focuses its main attacks on the partnership between Dan Nistor and Vladislav Blănuță, who take turns finishing and keep the pressure on the rival defense. Nistor, as well as finishing, stands out as the brains of the team, organizing the offensive transitions with keen vision and efficient distribution, being the link that connects the construction in the middle to the arrival of danger in attack. There are no confirmed absentees for the next matchday.

The away team is currently in the 2nd position of the league, with 36 points won, after 17 wins, 11 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against FCSB, by (0‑0).

In 35 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 15 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Universitatea Craiova are still in the hunt for the title, coming back to win 0-2 away to Dinamo Bucharest in the last round with goals from Ștefan Baiaram and Alexandru Mitriță. In the 4-3-3 that guides the game, Alexandru Mitriță is the name that usually breaks down lines with short dribbles and dangerous runs, being the main player in creating space against well-positioned defenses. Alongside him in attack, Ștefan Baiaram and Lyes Houri provide speed and efficiency when it comes to setting up play, keeping the team constantly on the attacking field and causing constant danger with intense movement and accurate finishing. Left winger Luis Paradela and striker Alexandru Cicâldău are still in the medical department and are unlikely to be available for the next match.
