CFR Cluj and Universitatea Cluj meet in the Cluj derby, with the hosts having just won 3-1 in their last match, while the visitors also won 2-0. Both therefore come in on a winning note, but the timing of their seasons differs. CFR Cluj are still up and down, with 4 wins and 4 defeats from 9 league matches, scoring 15 and conceding 14, their defence not as solid as it should be. Universitatea Cluj, meanwhile, have won 5 of 9, scoring 14 and conceding 13. The numbers are very close, but the visitors have picked up more wins and have just won two in a row without conceding at all. This game should be open, because both score at a similar rate and both defences leak at a similar rate. If Universitatea Cluj can dominate the ball as they have done more often and avoid leaving gaps for the hosts to counter into, the game is likely to end tightly, which is the way the visitors want it.
