What to expect

We expect about 1.8 goals from U. Cluj and 1.0 from Otelul, so U. Cluj come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 2.8 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

U. Cluj come into this on two straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: U. Cluj to win. U. Cluj are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.8-1.0), and we make them about 54% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.

We put the chance of that landing at about 53 out of 100. There is no settled price to hold that up against yet, so treat the call on its own terms.

What the numbers say
U. Cluj have won two of their last five.
Otelul have won one of their last five.
Three of the last five meetings finished under 2.5 goals.
Both teams scored in one of the last five meetings.

One thing to watch

Favourites drop points more often than a short price suggests, and one moment can earn Otelul a draw or better. We only make this about 54%, so it's far from a lock.
