CSKA Sofia – Cluj, Europa League Prediction

| Cluj has 9 clean sheets in its last 13 away games in all competitions

🥳 The euphoria from CSKA’s return to Europe is huge

CSKA did not record good results in their last two matches in the Efbet Liga, but in addition to the pandemic, clubs in poorer countries such as Bulgaria had serious financial difficulties, so the Reds rely heavily on the Europa League, as they will receive a lot of extra money if they have good results.

✔️ Cluj will go to Bulgaria in very good shape

Cluj has virtually no losses in 16 consecutive games. The last defeat of the team came at the end of June against Craiova at home with 2-3, and before that it lost only in the beginning of December for the last time in an official match. The reason for not reaching the last phase before the groups of the Champions League was the match with too strong opponent like Dinamo Zagreb, in which Cluj played very good till the last minute, but lost.

We anticipate a tactical clash with few goals

 Expert view: We expect both teams to try not to lose, rather than rush for a mandatory victory. The bonus for CSKA are the fans, and for the guests, there will be none. The hosts are physically strong and good at counter-attack, but Cluj’s defense is extremely good. We believe that both teams will be cautious in defense and will not create many goal situations, respectively we bet on Under 2.5 goals on 1.66.
