FCSB vs CFR Cluj Prediction: The game of the weekend at the Arena Națională

It will be a clash of the titans at the Arena Națională on Sunday as FCSB lock horns with CFR Cluj. The hosts are two points ahead of the visitors. Who will win? Below, I have the team news, some interesting facts, expert betting tips, and odds.

FCSB

FCSB suffered a 2-0 loss to Manchester United in their last game in the Europa League but still qualified for the playoffs, where they will now face POAK in a two-legged clash later this month. Back to the league, they defeated UTA Arad 1-0 in their last game, thanks to the goal from Florin Tanase in the 63rd minute. The defending champions are unbeaten in their last three games in the league to sit third on the table with 41 points in 23 games, scoring 34 goals and conceding 22. They have the same points as top-place U. Cluj and are two points more than CFR Cluj.

CFR Cluj

CFR Cluj secured a 3-1 win over Farul Constanta in their last game after a beautiful one-man show from Louis Munteanu, who scored all three goals in the game. The 22-year-old is the highest goal scorer in the league with 12 goals. CFR Cluj remain unbeaten in their last seven games in all competitions and have lost only one game on the road this season. They sit 4th on the table with 39 points in 23 games, scoring 40 goals and conceding 2. They have the best attack in the league, and I believe if Louis Munteanu can continue to deliver, they will challenge for the title. However, Mihai Popa will miss this game due to a finger injury.
