Tromso should finish the job
Tromso IL come into this game as the bookies' favorite at 1.79, with CFR 1907 Cluj the longshots at 4.53. This Tromso IL vs CFR 1907 Cluj preview looks like Tromso's tie to lose after a 5-0 away hammering of Cluj in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026.
Tromso come into this on the back of a two-game winning streak, which was a timely burst of momentum after they slipped up against FC Hradec Kralove in the previous round. They have won just five of their last ten in all competitions, but this looks a very winnable match for them.
Cluj's recent form has been mixed, winning two, drawing one and losing two of their last five. They lost both of their most recent matches, including the 0-5 thrashing against Tromso last week, while they also lost 3-1 in the league at Rapid Bucuresti.
An exciting game awaits
Jørgen Vik's Tromso can set up in a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-3-4-3 and have been playing some fantastic soccer of late. Their press is very high-tempo and it will push Cluj back onto their goal, but they will also break with speed when they have the ball, and can stretch the game wide and play through the channels.
Antonio Folha's men are set up in a more compact way, looking to counter with directness and to be a threat from set-pieces.
Isak Dahlqvist is the Norwegians' European spark and he's netted three of Tromso's goals so far in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026. Heine Aasen Larsen has also been in ruthless form, finding the net five times in Tromso's last 15 goals over the last five games.
Stefan Drazic has been Cluj's brightest attacking outlet, scoring three of their last 10 goals and adding three assists in his last five appearances for the club. Alin Razvan Fica is their top scorer in this competition, but he has just one goal in three appearances.
Goals likely in Norway
Tromso look a very capable side and they're coming up against an average Cluj team. With the home side being the bookies' favourite, the odds of 1.79 on the home team make little sense, as does the 4.53 quote on the visitors.
Tromso IL vs CFR 1907 Cluj betting tips point to Over 2.5 goals at 1.7, but Both Teams To Score - Yes at 1.65 is the live bet that looks most likely to be the most profitable. Tromso IL vs CFR 1907 Cluj prediction also leans toward an open game with chances at both ends.
