CFR Cluj vs Young Boys Prediction & Betting tips
It is already exciting in round two of the Europa League in Group A, because Cluj and Basel are the two teams that will eventually make it to second place in the group.
With AS Roma there is a supposedly overpowering opponent in the pool, who was declared a fixed promoter by the opponents in advance. Behind it, anything is possible, even if the Young Boys would be the first contenders for promotion to the sixteenth-finals.
In the game CFR Cluj vs. Young Boys give the odds to the guests a slight advantage, whereby one can generally speak of a more even distribution. In addition, the Romanians are currently in excellent shape and are probably not willing to throw the gun at home.
So in the duel CFR Cluj vs. Young Boys put a prediction on a close game. It is obvious that in this case, favorite tips are not necessarily the first choice due to the poorer odds.
CFR Cluj:
Cluj has been playing outstandingly at the national level in recent years. In Romania they have blossomed into number one in the past few seasons and now international accents are also to be set. With the current form in the Europa League at least promotion should be possible.
As a national champion, Cluj was able to try his hand at the Champions League qualification at the beginning of the season. In the second round, however, it was over against the Croatian top club Dynamo Zagreb, whereby the decision was only made in a highly dramatic penalty shoot-out.
This slip also meant the only defeat of the season for the Petrescu-Elf so far, because everything is going very solidly in all other competitions. With the opening win in the Europa League last week, Cluj also hinted at ambitions for promotion.
But now the first real test is waiting, because in the game CFR Cluj vs. Young Boys see the betting odds the Romanians rather in the outsider role. Coach Petrescu and his team are definitely not in for a Sunday walk.
The reliable attack department regularly gives Cluj reason to celebrate, because the storm around Omrani and Paun only failed to score twice, usually the Romanians strike several times.
Against the guests from Basel, Coach Petrescu, whose team is always tactically variable and has mastered almost every system, wants to keep the store closed at the back and set accents at the front. With only three goals conceded in eight league games, the signs are good.
In addition, the Romanians have no significant failures to regret and can therefore ask the Swiss to duel with all their routine. So it could be a very exciting duel on Thursday. The current score can be tracked in our betting base livescore at any time.
Young Boys:
The Swiss number one was able to convince again at the start of the season this year. In recent years, the Bernese have actually always been represented in the Europa League, but they rarely got beyond the group stage. If it is up to coach Gerardo Seoane, that should change now. The foundation stone for a possible promotion must now be laid in Romania.
The fact that there were no points in the home game against AS Roma at the start of the Europa League should not disappoint the Young Boys, because the Italian group favorite is simply too powerful. Rather, the duel CFR Cluj vs. Young Boys, where a tip on both teams would be justified in principle.
Statistically, the Swiss capital club is marginally superior to the Romanian champions, but on Thursday a lot will also depend on the condition of the day. The Young Boys can build on their recent excellent defensive performances. In the league they have only conceded two goals and internationally they usually perform well at the back.
Another reason why it could be difficult to celebrate a full success against Cluj is the weakness of the Bernese away so far. In the current season, no victory has been celebrated away, and the Young Boys have not even been able to score a goal abroad.
As you can see from our betting base odds comparison, the game CFR Cluj vs. Young Boys the odds are distributed relatively evenly. Both teams have justified chances of victory. Should Bern lose, however, then the gap to Cluj would already be six points, which of course would be a major setback in the fight for promotion.
