Univ. Craiova vs CFR Cluj tips and predictions

CFR Cluj might not justify short price

This isn't a confident view but the short price for CFR Cluj makes them a terrible bet. Univ. Craiova don't look likely to get the win but they might keep the visitors honest. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to go crazy about.

Both of these sides have looked strong in defence. Creating something of a fortress at home, Univ. Craiova have conceded only 3 goals in their last 9 matches. Meanwhile CFR Cluj have conceded only 1 goal in their last 4 matches on the road.

In previous matches between these sides 2 of the last 3 have been draws.

You won't be alone if you're expecting one of these sides to stifle the action because of the favouritism for CFR Cluj. If you think it will play out as many expect it to then the BTTS No might be for you.

Univ. Craiova have drawn 5 of their last 12 matches on their own soil, most recently when they drew 2-2 with Viitorul Tg. Jiu last Wednesday. CFR Cluj have drawn 2 of their last 4 matches on the road. It's not very exciting and it feels like a match to be on one's guard about. A deadlock awaits after what will probably be a close encounter.
