Lazio vs CFR Cluj Prediction & Betting tips
CFR Cluj is the big surprise of Group E of the Europa League. In the event of a win or a tie, the club manages to qualify for the knockout phase. For that it has to beat Lazio and that can sometimes be a tough job.
Lazio Roma:
There is enormous pressure on Simone Inzaghi for this midweek continental competition. In fact, Lazio Roma must win both games in order to have a chance to hibernate at all. Thanks to the defeats at CFR Cluj and twice Celtic, it is now six points behind. In-house, the team at Inzaghi did win over Rennes and that is the only reason that there is still a glimmer of hope in Rome.
In the Serie A, however, Lazio is doing very well. They are currently in third place. The club has now lost eight league games, the last five of which were won. The 3-5-2 formation has earned points against teams such as Milan, Torino, Fiorentina and Atalanta. Last weekend it seemed like a draw, but in injury time, Felipe Caicedo scored the winning one. Promising results for Lazio.
CFR Cluj:
The champion of Romania initially seemed the little boy of the group. In a group with Rennes, Celtic and Lazio it would be very difficult for CFR Cluj to convert further. However, nothing turned out to be less true, because every week the Dan Petrescu club manages to convince. In the first round they managed to beat Lazio 2-1, but after that the away match against Celtic was lost. In the past few weeks, the team met Rennes twice and both games ended in a great 1-0 win. The final game was dominated by 33-year-old substitute Mario Rondón. The Venezuelan only played six times in the Romanian league and was unable to score. When he stepped in at a European level, he scored in the minute and only three minutes later he received an immediate red card for a gross foul.
In the Romanian league, CFR Cluj was unbeatable at home and won eight out of nine games. In the away games the champion is vulnerable again. The team only won two of the eight away games.
