CFR Cluj vs Oţelul Galaţi Prediction: The Provincial Champion will continue their dominance over The Steelworkers

CFR Cluj hope to maintain their unbeaten run against Oţelul Galaţi when they clash at the Stadionul Dr. Constantin Rădulescu on Sunday. The hosts are unbeaten in 12 of their last 13 games. Can they continue this run? Below, I have the team news, some interesting facts, expert betting tips, and odds.

CFR Cluj

WDWLD

CFR Cluj got a 2-0 win over Rapid Bucuresti in their last game, with goals from Mohammed Kamara and Alin Fica making the difference. They had previously suffered 3-2 to U. Cluj in the Cluj derby and were held to a 1-1 draw against Unirea Slobozia. They are unbeaten in 12 of their last 13 games, positioning them 5th on the table with 32 points in 20 games, scoring 33 goals and conceding 24. They are 5 points behind league leaders U. Cluj and 4 points above the relegation group.

I think CFR Cluj are in the title race, and a win in this game will fully restore their confidence in their quest to win the league. However, Mihai Popa will miss this game due to a broken finger, but the team has other excellent players who can win games for them effortlessly. Louis Munteanu wasn’t in the starting lineup against Rapid Bucuresti, managing just 28 minutes on the field, but there is high hope that head coach Petrescu Dan will send him back to the starting 11 in this game.

Oţelul Galaţi

LWLLD

Oţelul Galaţi were held to a goalless draw in their last game against Sepsi to give them a second draw in a row. They had drawn 1-1 against UTA Arad before the game. They are now winless in 14 of their last 16 games. They sit 10th on the table with 24 points in 20 games, scoring 15 goals and conceding 18.

Head coach Munteanu Dorinel has switched between two goalkeepers, Cosmin Dur-Bozoanca and Iustin Popescu, in their recent games, but that hasn’t solved the defensive issue of this team, and nothing will really change going forward if stability isn’t brought back to the team.

Possible Starting 11

CFR Cluj — Otto Hindrich, Aly Abeid, Leonardo Bolgado, Matei Cristian Ilie, Simao Rocha, Alin Razvan Fica, Damjan Djokovic, Adrian Paun, Virgiliu Postolachi, Louis Munteanu, Meriton Korenica.

Otelul Galati — Iustin Popescu, Mihai Adascalitei, Jonathan Cisse, Nikola Stevanovic, Josip Tomasevic, Juri Cisotti, Diego Zivulic, Joao Lameira, Alexandru Pop, Stipe Juric, Razvan Tanasa.

Expert Betting Tips

CFR Cluj are back after a recent setback in the Cluj derby, and I don’t think Oţelul Galaţi can stop them from getting a maximum point in this clash. Oţelul Galaţi are winless in 10 of their last 11 games against The Cluj People. Also, I expect the host to keep a clean sheet because Oţelul Galaţi have scored the least number of goals in the league this season and have failed to score in 5 of their last six games against CFR Cluj. Nevertheless, I believe this game will see lots of goals.
