Predictions & Betting Tips

The title could be decided on Friday

CFR 1907 are on a roll with back-to-back wins coming into this game, while Elias Charalampous’ FCSB are on an even hotter streak with five straight victories. There’s just nine points separating the two sides in the standings, with FCSB top on 51 points after nine games played, and Cluj in second with 42 points. A lot of things could go right for these two sides on Friday, with the CFR 1907 Cluj vs FCSB prediction hinging on Cluj’s Louis Munteanu leading the charge for the hosts with three goals in nine Liga I Playoff 2025 appearances. He is usually the focal point of their play, while Dan Petrescu has made them a more resolute unit in his short time in charge at the club.

FCSB are the team to beat

FCSB have won three and drawn once from four away games in the Play Off. Charalampous has transformed FCSB into a relentless attacking side with a winning mentality and they’re in a much better position than CFR 1907 in the title race. Birligea is their main goal scorer with four in eight Play Off games, but the CFR 1907 Cluj vs FCSB preview highlights that the FCSB attack is a real weapon in the hands of Charalampous, who has been in charge since March 2023.

Expect a cagey encounter

CFR 1907 Cluj are favourites with the bookies at -116, while FCSB are a big long shot at +350, which is a little surprising given the visitors have 1 win and 1 draw in their last two direct confrontations with Cluj. This will be a real test of Charalampous’ character as a manager and we’re backing him to come through once more. The contrasting styles of these two teams should ensure the CFR 1907 Cluj vs FCSB prediction becomes a chess match of sorts, with Cluj looking to smother FCSB’s runs and hit on the counter. As a result, our CFR 1907 Cluj vs FCSB betting tips suggest that the Under 2.5 Goals market could well hold value in a cagey clash.
