Now the F91 Dudelange wants to make history and move into the group stage of the Europa League for the first time. In the duel against Cluj, Luxembourgish champions are, of course, the big outsiders. But already in the last round against Legia Warsaw, the underdog prevailed. Is there the next sensation? The betting base looks at the game Dudelange vs. CFR Cluj on the betting odds and presented in the tip of the best bets on the game.

Dudelange:

With 14 league titles and six cup wins, F91 Dudelange is one of the most successful clubs in Luxembourg. Since the 2016/17 season, the club is coached by Dino Toppmöller, the son of the well-known and successful football coach Klaus Toppmöller. In his first season Toppmöller led the club to the Triple from Championship, Cup and League Cup victory. In the last season Dudelange was able to defend the championship title. The advantage over Progres Niederkorn was six points. Of 26 games you could win 22 and lost only twice. At home, F91 remained unbeaten. Overall, Dudelange scored 81 goals in 26 games and conceded only 26 goals. Both were best in the league. For this season, the champion was again significantly strengthened. Players like Milan Bisevac (formerly at Paris SG) and Marc-André Kruska (from Werder II, formerly at BVB) came to the squad.

Eight German players are in the squad. The most important man in the background is the Luxembourg businessman Flavio Becca. Becca provides almost professional conditions that you will not find anywhere else in Luxembourg. Already 22 times F91 started in the European Cup. The biggest success was reaching the 3rd qualifying round in the Champions League season 2012/13. In the same season, the Luxembourgers were once only one step ahead of the Europa League group stage. At that time Dudelange lost but clearly in the playoffs against Hapoel Tel Aviv. This season, the champions from Luxembourg also started first in the Champions League. But here they failed already in round one, albeit only marginally on the Hungarian champion Videoton. Then it went on in the Europa League. In round 2, F91 prevailed against the champions from Kosovo KF Drita (2: 1, 1: 1). In round two, the surprise against the Polish champions Legia Warsaw (2: 1, 2: 2) succeeded. In the last four home games in the Champions League, there was only one defeat for F91. In the Europa League, the Luxembourgers have been without home defeat for four home matches. Currently Dudelange has already completed two games in the domestic league. With a 3-1 win at RMB Hamm and a 0-2 home defeat against Differdange, the opening campaign for the 2018/19 season of the BGL Ligue was certainly not optimal. Dino Toppmöller will be without left-back Bryan Mélisse, who has yet to qualify for a red card.

CFR Cluj:

With four league titles and four Cup victories over the past ten years, CFR Cluj is one of the most successful clubs in recent history in Romania. Cluj plays since 2004 in the highest Romanian league. In the season 2017/18 League I CFR won the championship number four with four points ahead of Steaua Bucharest. In 26 games of the season Cluj was only three times loser from the field. With only 13 goals conceded, the CFR had the best defense in the league. At home, the team remained unbeaten and conceded in 13 games only two goals. Away you could win eight of 13 games and lost three games. In the 2018/19 season are already completed five games in the first Romanian league. With three wins and two draws, Cluj is again in first place, one point ahead of Steaua Bucharest. In European Cup reached Cluj already three times the group phase of the Champions League (2008/09, 2010/11, 2012/13) and once the group stage of the Europa League (2009/10).

In the 2012/13 season, they even came in the round of the last 32 in the Europa League. This season, however, the Romanians are represented for the first time since 2012/13 again in the European Cup. In this season Cluj was allowed to run first in the Champions League, but failed in round two at Malmö FF (0: 1, 1: 1). Then it went on for the Romanians in the Europa League on. In the third round, the CFR prevailed with 2: 0 and 5: 0 against the Armenian champion Alashkert completely sovereign. Cluj has been without defeat for seven competitive matches. Coach Edward Iordanescu was dismissed as a result of his departure from Malmö. As a successor, the Portuguese Antonio Conceicao was obliged, who had already trained the club in 2008/2009 and 2015/2016. The new coach lets Cluj play in a 4-3-3. Against Dudelange CFR Cluj is favored despite betting odds above the 2.00er mark for betting on the win.
