The Superliga sends the 5th and 6th placed teams against each other at a time when they are separated by just a single point. Universitatea Cluj have 22 points from 13 matches, while FCSB follow on 21 points from the same number of games, so this is about jostling for position in the upper group rather than a contest of reputation. Universitatea Cluj returned to league action with a 3-1 win over their opponents in early October and have just won another cup match by the same scoreline. Their attack is working consistently, but there are still gaps to be seen in defence. As for FCSB, they lost their most recent cup match, but before that they picked up wins in the league in consecutive matches, and their away form has also been scoring steadily. The expected pattern is likely to be a trade of blows in midfield. Both teams have similar average possession in their last ten matches and are comparable in shots on target. The first half may still be a measuring-up period, with whoever finds the rhythm first opening up, but the second half should see more goals than the first, because both need to push for points to avoid dropping out of the top group.
