Celtic vs CFR Cluj Prediction & Betting tips
In Glasgow, Celtic and Cluj face each other at Celtic Park. The Europa League is not the stage on which both teams want to act. Due to the elimination in the preliminary rounds of the Champions League, this is, however, the reality. Which team is favorite? Looking ahead!
Celtic:
For Celtic, seeing again with Cluj is a special one. The Scots met the Romanians twice in the third preliminary round of the Champions League in August this year. A good starting position was achieved in Romania by drawing a 1-1 draw. A week later, Celtic Park didn’t seem to have a problem for a long time and Celtic even took a lead twice, but in the absolute final stage Cluj surprised himself twice, making it 3-4 and the Romanians were in the final heat. of the Champions League. In the final qualifying round of the Europa League, Celtic finally moved on at the expense of AIK Stockholm.
In addition to Cluj, Lazio Roma and Rennes complete Pool E. Against the latter, Celtic played the first game. In France it was 1-1 by two penalties used. As expected, Celtic is at the top in its own country with nineteen points from seven games. Last weekend points were spilled for the first time during the Hibernian match. As a result, the lead on Rangers FC is currently only one point. Manager Neil Lennon spoke on Tuesday afternoon during the closing press conference hoping that fans could be a twelfth man in the hunt for three points.
Cluj:
Cluj had a good general in the Romanian competition last Saturday. It beat Gaz Metan 3-0 by goals from Vinicius, Kevin Boli and Billel Omrani. Cluj is the proud leader in its own country this season. It has a two-point lead over Universitatea Craiova. Home games are easily won, but it all runs a bit smoother with eight points from five games.
The first match in the Europa League was surprisingly won 2-1 against the much-regarded Lazio Roma. On closer inspection, the Italians did not take the game so seriously and the entire second team was allowed to play. Despite a 0-1 lead through a goal from defender Bastos, the Romans were unable to hold onto it. Ciprian Deac and Billel Omrani provided an unexpected triple for the Romanians. Coach Dan Petrescu takes possession of the ball from 4-3-3, but in the case of loss of the ball, he often lets his team play in a 5-3-2 formation. In the counter, the Romanians are perilous. Such an image was shown earlier this season at Celtic Park.
