CPR Cluj has already passed two rounds of the Conference League qualification. The first game was against Belarusian Neman, and it ended in a draw (0:0). But in the rematch, the Romanian club trounced their opponents with a score of 5:0. Next, CFR Cluj faced Israeli rivals Maccabi Petah Tikva. They also had no problems with them, winning both games 1:0.

Pafos started their Europa League journey in the qualifiers. And that's when the Cypriot club came up against Swedish Elfsborg. Overall, there weren't any major surprises — the team suffered two losses (0:3 and 2:5). After that, Pafos beat Lithuanian Zalgiris 4:2 on aggregate in extra time in the Conference League qualifiers. They also defeated Bulgarian CSKA 1948 5:2 on agg. in extra time in the semifinals.

It's unlikely that Pafos will reach the overall stage of the Conference League. CFR Cluj is a much higher caliber team, and especially in the first meeting in front of their fans, they'll try to gain the upper hand before the return leg. The Cypriot club had some major issues in the previous qualifying matches, and we're not too optimistic about their chances of success.
