CFR Cluj-Napoca v Universitat Craiova
2 teams with different goals, different results so far and different quality in the squads. CFR made some good transfers this summer spending some serious money while Craiova was happy with some minor signings nad relying on the talent of the young players. So far Cluj impressed in the previous games except the game last round vs Poli but a fact to be remebered is that they haven't played so far vs the big teams: Steaua, Dinamo and Rapid. Cluj never beat Craiova so far in the championship, in fact Craiova managed to knock them out of the Romanian Cup last year when we were in the 2nd division. Craiova can make a very good game one round, then a very bad one next round. We lack the confidence and the experience and now we really have to fight to avoid relegation. Lats round we came from 2-0 down vs Iasi to take the lead 3-2 but a goal from a free kick in the 87th minute saw the game going 3-3. After the game there were some incidents involving our president and coach Stanga, and Stanga will be suspended 4 rounds for that. He is our most experienced player and also the coach, and we will miss him today. Also Ionescu is not in the squad for today, he was left out because he made a big mistake before the equalising goal from Iasi. I think CFR won't have many troubles beating us today but the odds arround 1.4 don't represent value to me. No bet.
