CFR Cluj vs Lazio Roma Picks
In the final stage of Liga 1, the Romanian champion had a training session with the public, outscoring her in Gruia on FC Voluntari with the score of 5-0, while Lazio lost the first match of Serie A, in extensions, 1-2 at Ferrara with SPAL, though he opened the scoring. The Italians have a stronger lot and will come to Cluj to win. Simone Inzaghi players did not expect to lose with SPAL and need a CFR success and beat Parma in the weekend and Parma in the championship, to return. Dan Petrescu’s team has the last chance to qualify in the sixteenth, while “Biancocelesti” are favored to win the group. Lazio lost by 1-0 the last match played in Romania, with FCSB, but in the return they prevailed with 5-1 on “Stadio Olimpico”. It is expected that the “railway” will be highly motivated, because in such matches can be seen and then hoped for transfers to stronger clubs (Omrani was about to sign for Celtic).
