FC Hermannstadt – CFR Cluj, will take place on Monday at 18:30 in Mediaș, the match will close the 18th round of League 1.
The victory that FCSB obtained in this round, score 2-1 on “National Arena” with FC Voluntari, put a terrible pressure on the champion, who is currently four lengths ahead. In order to make up the gap of only one point, which separated the two at the start of this round, Cluj is doomed to win in Mediaș with FC Hermannstadt. With a victory, CFR would approach again only one point from FCSB and would also be five lengths away from the University, the Oltenians being kept in check in this round in Bănie de Viitorul, score 1-1.
CFR Cluj is undefeated in League 1 with Iordănescu jr. on the bench, with five wins and a draw;
FC Heermannstadt is without a victory in League 1 in the disputes with CFR Cluj;
CFR Cluj leads to “live” with 3 victories, the other two duels with Sibiu in League 1 ending undecided;
On the other hand, FC Hemannstadt left at the start of this round in 14th place with 16 points. Sibiu come after an important draw ticked on the field of one of the playoff candidates, Academica Clinceni, score 0-0, a match in which Liviu Ciobotariu made his debut on the bench. The form that the champion crosses under the command of Edward Iordănescu, CFR being undefeated in League 1 with Dan Petrescu’s successor on the bench, having five victories and a draw, does not scare “Ciobi”.
The coach of FC Hermannstadt stated at the press conference preceding the duel that his students have the strength to obtain a positive result against the champion, in the starting formula being his own son, Denis. More than likely, as in the game with Academica, we will witness a defensive approach from Sibiu. It remains to be seen, however, whether the “fortress” of “Ciobi” will withstand Deac & co. In the tour, in “Gruia”, CFR Cluj won 1-0 thanks to Vinicius’ goal.
