UTA Arad host CFR Cluj in a game whose pattern is clear before kickoff. The home side should see more of the ball and gradually squeeze the visitors back into a defensive block waiting to counter. Statistically, over the last 10 matches UTA Arad have averaged 48.8% possession while CFR Cluj sit at 44.5%, which says the visitors do not focus on holding the ball but rather wait for the moment to break quickly. UTA Arad lost 0-2 in their latest match, but before that they won emphatically at home 5-1 and also won another game 1-0. CFR Cluj, meanwhile, won 1-0 in their latest match, but their away results remain erratic, with a 1-3 loss and a 3-1 win alternating. If UTA Arad score first, CFR Cluj will have to open up and trade blows, which is the situation the home side thrive in and could add to their lead. Given that both sides put roughly 4 shots on target per game, this one should finish with a narrow margin, but the home side are the more likely to take the three points at home.
