FCSB (Home)
- FCSB can edge out a closely-contested affair against CFR 1907 Cluj in the Liga I on Sunday when a European qualification spot and, possibly, a play-off place will be at stake.
- Elias Charalampous’ team have won three and lost two of their last five matches, coming into this game on the back of back-to-back defeats to Besiktas and FC Arges.
- FCSB have won four, drawn three and lost three of their ten Liga I home games this term, averaging 1.10 goals scored per game and 0.80 goals conceded.
- In young Florin Tanase, who has scored ten goals in 22 Liga I appearances, FCSB have a prolific striker and in Andrei Cordea, a creative spark that can link up with the attacking players in wide areas.
CFR 1907 Cluj (Away)
- CFR Cluj’s recent form has been good, taking three wins, a draw and a defeat from their last five games, which included a 1-0 victory over Otelul Galati last time out.
- Boss Daniel Pancu, who took over in November 2025, has started to move the team in a slightly more direct and dynamic way while also keeping the pragmatic elements of compact defending and counter-attacking.
- They are unbeaten in their last two road games, but their overall away record in Liga I is patchy with only two wins, five draws and four losses from 11 away games in which they have conceded an average of 1.55 goals per match.
Head-to-Head
But the last encounter between the two sides ended 2-2 at Cluj’s home and the visitors have failed to win any of the past three away games against FCSB, so a draw is not out of the question.
