Universitatea Cluj FCSB betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match is a few goals. Universitatea Cluj are usually better at home and should adopt an attacking stance. FCSB, on the other hand, play in their worst condition, but their attack has scored regularly despite being virtual champions. We expect an open and balanced game, with chances for both sides. Therefore, betting in favor of the “Over 2.0 Goals (Asian)” market seems to be a good alternative.

Preview
U Cluj and FCSB meet at Cluj Arena, in a match for the 8th round of the Liga I. FCSB got a home win by (1‑0), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 05‑04‑2025. The head‑to‑head record at this stadium couldn't be more balanced, as it shows 1 draw and 1 win for each team in the last 3 head‑to‑heads. Nevertheless, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, on 10‑11‑2024, for the Liga I, FCSB won by (1‑2). Vladislav Blanuta (85' ) scored for U Cluj and Daniel Bîrligea (51' and 30' ) for FCSB. U Cluj registers significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth special attention.

Analysis U Cluj

The home team is currently in the 4th position of the league, with 35 points won, after 17 wins, 10 draws and 10 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Universitatea Craiova, by (2‑1). In the last match, they lost in an away match against CFR Cluj, by (1‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 11 goals scored and 14 conceded; against 8 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses at their stadium, with 27 goals scored and 23 conceded. For the league, U Cluj won 22 points out of 30 possible points, after 7 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 37 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 16 times, but have turned the score around in 5.

Universitatea Cluj are fighting for a place in European competition, but they lost 1-0 away to CFR in their last outing. In a 4-3-1-2 formation, the team concentrates its firepower on the combination of Dan Nistor and Vladislav Blănuță, who take turns setting up play and finishing it off, demanding extra attention from the rival defenders. Nistor, meanwhile, plays a strategic role in the middle, directing the flow of transitions with intelligence and refined distribution, working in harmony with Mamadou Thiam to keep the team balanced and dangerous in the final third. Left-back Alexandru Chipciu is suspended and will miss the next match.

Confirmed Lineup: Edvinas Gertmonas, Dorinel Oancea, Iulian Cristea, Lucas Masoero, Dorin Codrea, Dan Nistor, Andrej Fabry, Andrei Artean, Vladislav Blănuță, Issouf Macalou, Mamadou Thiam.
Coach: E. Neagoe.

Analysis FCSB

The away team is currently in the 1st position of the league, with 45 points won, after 20 wins, 13 draws and 4 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Rapid Bucuresti, by (1‑2). In the last match, they won in a home match against Dinamo Bucureşti, by (3‑1). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses in away matches, with 18 goals scored and 13 conceded; against 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 25 goals scored and 18 conceded.

In this competition, they haven’t lost any of the last 10 away matches. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (7 out of 18 matches). Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 37 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 11 times but have turned the score around in 4. In the last 18 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 5 of their 13 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

FCSB are having an impeccable campaign in the championship hexagonal, heading for yet another title, coming back to beat Dinamo at home 3-1, with their goals scored by Octavian Popescu (2x) and Daniel Bîrligea. Adopting the familiar 4-2-3-1 as a tactical base, the team has effectively exploited the connection between Daniel Bîrligea and Darius Olaru, who understand each other well in the offensive exchanges and create constant dangerous opportunities. In the middle, the duo of Risto Radunovic and Adrian Șut provide intensity and tactical intelligence, speeding up the build-up and sustaining the pressure in the rival's half with imposition and good choices in the build-up. Defender Joyskim Dawa, right-back Alexandru Pantea and striker Darius Olaru are injured and will miss the next match.

Confirmed Lineup: Ștefan Târnovanu, Risto Radunović, Siyabonga Ngezana, Valentin Cretu, Mihai Popescu, Juri Cisotti, Florin Tănase, Adrian Sut, Mihai Daniel Lixandru, Octavian Popescu, Daniel Birligea.
Coach: N. Dică.
