CFR Cluj will make experience count

Pretty much unanimously CFR Cluj are favoured to win this and it's highly unlikely they'll make a mess of it.

Obviously CFR Cluj are in much better form. The hosts have registered 11 home wins from their last 16 games. Having less success than their rivals the travelling side has been defeated in 12 of their last 17 matches. All the evidence points to one more loss here.

It's vital that the visiting defenders remain dialled in throughout the ninety minutes. Academica Clinceni have conceded at least once in all of their last 17 matches. On top of that, some parts of the attacking displays by the visitors have been left wanting; they have averaged just 0.7 goals in their last 18 matches.

It won't be breaking news to learn that CFR Cluj have won all of the last 7 fixtures between the two sides. The head-to-head stats favour another home win.

The sportsbooks think that only one of these sides will present a threat on goal in a match that's on CFR Cluj's terms. But the odds-against for the BTTS Yes provides the value.
