UTA Arad vs CFR Cluj Prediction: A win for the Cluj People

CFR Cluj will continue their title fight when they travel to the Stadionul Francisc von Neuman on Monday to face UTA Arad. The Cluj People are unbeaten in 19 of their last 20 games in all competitions. Can they continue this run? Below, I have the team news, possible starting 11, some interesting facts, expert betting tips, and odds.

UTA Arad

WDLDW

UTA Arad bounced back to winning ways with a 1-0 win over Poli lasi in their last game. Daniel Zsori scored the only goal of the game in the 79th minute. Prior to this win, they were winless in four straight matches, where they had three draws and lost one game against FCSB. However, their form at home hasn’t been encouraging, having won once in their last five games at the Stadionul Francisc von Neuman. They sit 10th on the table with 30 points in 25 games, scoring 24 goals and conceding 26. With their recent form, it will take them extra efforts to make it to the championship group going to postseason. They are nine points outside the postseason place and will likely play the next round in the relegation group. Meanwhile, Alexandru Benga and Agustín Vuletich are ruled out of this game due to injuries.

CFR Cluj

The Cluj People are unbeaten in 19 of their last 20 games in all competitions and remain unbeaten in their last six games on the road. They sit 4th on the table with 43 points in 25 games, scoring 42 goals and conceding 29. However, Vladislav Blănuță, Artur Miranyan, and Mihai Popa are ruled out of this game.
