Academica Clinceni vs CFR Cluj will meet on 20.07.2019, in the 2nd round of League 1, at the “Anghel Iordănescu” stadium in Voluntari.

Academica Clinceni was close to a 2-2 in Craiova

Academica Clinceni gave an unexpectedly good replica to Craiova University in the first match played in the League One. The new promotion lost 3-2 dramatically, but it was very close to a draw in Bani. The team coached by Ilie Poenaru had 5 corners in Craiova with a shot in the 6-5. The hosts had a bar, while the guests had two shots in the bar. Academica Clinceni has a heavy schedule in League One, because after the match with Universitatea Craiova they will play CFR Cluj (home), CSM Politehnica Iasi (away) and Dinamo Bucharest (away).

• The probable team Academica Clinceni (4-2-3-1): Calancea – Fl. Achim, A. Răuţă, Patriche, Dobrescu – Şut, B. Barbu – B. Ilie, Olariu, Nsiah – Buziuc

CFR Cluj was close to a failure with Poli Iasi in Gruia

CFR Cluj played poorly in the Romanian Supercup, being defeated in Ploiesti with 1-0 by FC Viitorul, after which he also lost in the first leg of the first round of the Champions League, 0-1 in Kazakhstan with FC Astana and disappointed even in the first round of League 1 of the 2019-2020 season, finishing at home in Gruia, 1-1 with CSM Politehnica Iasi. “The railers” had 12 corners, but the Moldavians had a lot of shots on the gate, 4-3, plus a bar through Andrei Cristea, in the 90th minute. The “white-cousins” will go to the Volunteers to beat Academica Clinceni and begin to recover.

• The team of CFR Cluj (4-3-3): Arlauskis – Peteleu, Paulo Vinicius, A. Mureşan, Camora – Itu, Đoković, Culio – C. Deac, Omrani, V. Costache –

Academica Clinceni vs CFR Cluj Picks

Academica Clinceni will face Academica Clinceni, a newly promoted team with no stadium, tradition and supporters, and CFR Cluj, the Romanian champion in the last 2 years. There will be no doubt the most unbalanced match of the stage and normally the “railers” should win the 3 points. Ilfoveni, who will play in the next two stages with Poli Iasi and Dinamo, will fight for an equal result, while for Cluj will only count victory. Academica impressed Craiova at the end of the match, but CFR will be even harder. Transylvanian players have an excellent morale after they have eliminated FC Astana and even if Dan Petrescu will keep 2-3 titles, because they will follow the game with Maccabi Tel-Aviv, they will go to the Volunteers to win. I recommend betting “CFR pause or final”, it would be too much for “white-cousins” to stop being promoted again in Clinceni.

Our Prediction: 2
