Cluj – CSKA-Sofia, Europa League Prediction

📑 Cluj sacked his coach

After the elimination of Cluj from Poli Iasi in the Romanian Cup, Petrescu was officially fired and Adrian Mutu is expected to be the new coach of the team, but to date this has not been confirmed (the analysis is written before the day of match). In general, this is not the only reason, but also the poor performance of the team overall. However, Cluj has 5 losses in its last 7 games in total and only one victory in them. He is in 3rd place and 6 points from the first in his league.

⚽ CSKA now plays only for its honor

CSKA will not be remembered for anything interesting in its participation in this year’s Europa League. So far, the Reds have only 1 point in Rome, but the main reason for this is that Roma had simply underestimated the match too much. However, CSKA is currently relieved of tension, and is quite happy after the victory over CSKA 1948 in the last round of the league.

We expect Cluj’s problems to continue

 Expert view: Cluj is not very impressive at the moment. Of course, for the Romanians, the match is much more important, but even if they win, everything will be decided in the last clash with Young Boys. CSKA is too weak to keep a clean sheet in such a match, but we think there is a chance for the reds to score this time. For sure, they do not have a single goal scored in the tournament, so it seems absurd to finish the group without a goal. The problems of Cluj and the lack of tension for CSKA are an even bigger motivator for us to give BTTS, and the coefficient is totally worth it (2.00).
