Slavia Prague vs CFR Cluj Prediction & Betting tips
In the Champions League play-offs, Slavia Prague defends a 0-1 lead from the first leg on Wednesday-evening. So the Czechs are in love with roses, but we certainly cannot write off CFR Cluj. After all, the Romanians already knew how to stunt the Scottish top club Celtic.
Slavia Prague:
Slavia Prague is very close to her second ever participation in the main tournament of the Champions League. The Czech national champion was in the first game against CFR Cluj in the lion’s den last week and, thanks to a goal by Lukas Masopust, pulled the ball in after the half hour of play. A draw on Wednesday evening is therefore sufficient for a starting ticket for the European champion ball.
Slavia Prague is also in top form again this season. The red and white seized the Czechoslovak Supercup at the expense of Spartak Trnava last week, and with no less than nineteen points from seven rounds of games, they are also competing in the competition. Coach Jindrich Trpisovsky’s crew does not seem to be bothered by the busy schedule, as Bohemians was convincingly put down 4-0 last weekend. The reigning national champion kept almost all of her strongholds aside, so they will all be fit to kick off in the return on Wednesday evening.
CFR Cluj:
CFR Cluj knows what to do. The team of trainer Dan Petrescu, who you may remember from his time at Chelsea, will have to score at least once on Wednesday evening to keep her Champions League dream alive. In the first game, the Romanians had a hard time, although they also had the misfortune that star player Billel Omrani failed to bring his team to the side from the penalty spot in the final phase.
With only one win in her last four games in the preliminary rounds of the Champions League, CFR Cluj performs very mixed, but that only win was a spectacular 3-4 on Parkhead against Celtic. If the Romanians manage to reach that level of two weeks ago, then this diptych is definitely not yet decided. Omrani scored two goals in that match and is also Wednesday night, despite his missed penalty of last week, the main trump card of the Romanians.
