Astra vs CFR Cluj Prediction & Betting tips
We are going to the 8th (and second to last) day of the Romanian Championship Group, to the match played by Astra and Cluj. I enter the victory of the visiting team and I will argue below.
Astra is 5th (of six teams that make up this group) with 24 points. No options or objectives in the league since it is 12 points of the 3rd classified (access to European competition). The locals are enjoying the prize of playing in this league after a great regular phase (they finished fourth) but their head is undoubtedly placed in the Cup final, to which they have surprisingly agreed after eliminating Cluj a few days ago. So they will seek to reserve to try to achieve that title and, with it, access to European competition. In this Championship Group, besides not playing anything, their numbers are terrible: of the seven days played, Astr: 1 win / 6 defeats … scoring only 2 goals in favor and receiving 10 against …
Cluj is the leader with 44 points. It surpasses in 5 points to the second classified one and, of winning, it would maintain this advantage (or more if it punctures Steaua) lacking only 6 points to be disputed, which would mean: practically made championship and access to Champions. Undoubtedly, Cluj with Steaua has the greatest potential both in staff and budget and their numbers show in recent years. They have gained with difference the regular phase and, they are also leaders with difference in this decisive Group. Their numbers in this phase in these seven days: 5 wins / 2 draws / 0 defeats, with 9 goals in favor and receiving only 2 against.
There is more: Cluj will go with rage after his elimination in Copa (huge surprise) against them a few days ago and, I am convinced that they will leave with a lot of desire for revenge. And another important fact in my opinion: Cluj does not lose in Astra field since 2014 and, of his last six visits: 5 wins / 1 draw. Numbers that support the pick. Bearing in mind that Cluj, after this game, you will have to play with Steaua and Craiova (2nd and 3rd) this game must win to avoid surprises and have margin in case of clicking on any of them.
I enter very confident (stake 3) for all the above and I think the quota is very good (I do not rule out that it will come down in the next few days). But, as I always tell you, these are bets and in addition to numbers and study other variables are needed to green. Those who hesitate do not enter or do it at a lower stake.
