Dinamo Bucuresti (home)

CFR 1907 Cluj (away)
- CFR 1907 Cluj have failed to win any of their last 3 away matches, drawing 2 and losing 1.
- Mandorlini sets up his team, sitting deep and defending with numbers, before looking to hit their opponents with vertical counters, particularly through his wing-backs.
