Voluntari host Universitatea Cluj in the Superliga, with the home side sitting 15th on 8 points from 9 matches, while the visitors are 7th on 12 points from 8 matches. Both need points to climb out of the lower reaches of the table, so this looks like a game where neither side will hold back. Voluntari lost 1-2 in their latest league match, and their season overall has been marked by a defence that concedes too many goals and lets points slip away. Universitatea Cluj, meanwhile, won 3-0 in their latest league match, a result that says their attack is clicking again after a 0-4 defeat had come in between. The pattern over the last 10 matches points to Universitatea Cluj having more possession and creating more shots on target, while Voluntari focus on sitting deep and waiting to counter. If the home side score first, the game becomes a case of defending and waiting to break, with the visitors forced to chase a goal. But if Universitatea Cluj take the lead first, they should control the tempo and close the game out in the style their superior possession allows.
