Thursday, at 18:00, CFR Cluj will receive the visit of the Luxembourgers from Dudelange in a match for the return of the UEFA Europa League play-off. The game will take place at the “Dr. Constantin Radulescu “, from Cluj-Napoca.
Problem data completely change their arena.
After an unrecognizable performance a week ago in Luxembourg, where they lost 2-0 in front of modest Dudelange, CFR Cluj is ready to produce a “remontada”, as far as possible, to reach in the UEFA Europa League groups and put the 10 million euros offered by UEFA for this performance. Even though the tour of Cluj would not normally give us much hope for the evening tonight, the students of Toni Conceicao have all the strengths on their side.
The “Dr. Constantin Radulescu “proved to be a real fortress in the last seasons for CFR, the proof is that he has not lost any home matches in the past championship, neither in the regular season nor in the play-off. Moreover, the Romanian champion will fight with a band that is theoretically inferior to the opponent of the previous round, Alashkert, who “demolished” the Armenia group with a 5-0 score against their own fans.
Given the circumstances of this game, we expect a solid evolution of Cluj. Dudelange gets a tremendous victory (13.00) from bookmakers, and rightly so.
Forming a first “11” formed by amateur footballers, the Luxembourgers show their weaknesses in the domestic championship, where they occupy the penultimate place (!) After three stages, also recording a weekend high humiliation, losing with the score 4-1 in front of the Mondorf anonymous. In this context, we have every reason to believe that value superiority, European experience, and the strength of our own terrain will make it possible for a “remontada” for the “white-eyed”.
PREDICTION: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.76
