On Wednesday, starting at 19:00, the CFR Cluj – FC Astana match will be played out of the qualifying qualifiers in the Champions League, the second hand, the 2019/2020 edition. After a modest start of the season, CFR Cluj will try to overturn the fate of the qualification in his favor, but the game with FC Astana will not be simple. Dorin Rotariu’s team starts with a minimal advantage, and Cluj needs to score at least once.
CFR Cluj started on the left this season, losing both the Super Cup of Romania and the first match with FC Astana, with the same score 0-1. Even in League 1 Cluj did not do better, draw, score 1-1 with Poli Iasi in the first round. The champion of Romania needs a very good game, able to eliminate the Kazakh band. FC Astana won the title last season and is also the leader in the current championship. Kazakhstan champion has defeated teams such as Rennes, Celtic Glasgow, Midtjylland, Maccabi Tel Aviv, BATE Borisov or APOEL in the last European Cup seasons, demonstrating their value to CFR. On the way, however, the Kazakhs are vulnerable, and the citizens can take advantage of it.
