Cluj Backed to Make Home Advantage Count

Universitatea Cluj are the clear favourites and have received around 74% of the full-time-result tips on OLBG. They finished second last season, have retained much of their experienced squad and can now focus fully on their domestic campaign following their European exit.

The hosts also hold the stronger recent head-to-head record, winning eight of the last 15 meetings between the teams, while Botoșani have won only three. With home advantage and greater overall quality, Cluj look capable of securing a controlled victory, although Botoșani’s competitive start means this may be tighter than the odds suggest.
