Cluj is the sovereign ruler in Romania in recent years, bearing in mind that they have won the title of national champion in each of the previous five seasons. Cluj players did not start their title defense in the desired way, as they had a mixed form at the start of the season. However, the club from Transylvania, with a series of impressive results in recent weeks, have not only managed to return to the top of the table, but they came to just one point from the current leader, Farul Konstantnu, with a match less.
Meanwhile, Hermannstadt made an express return to the company of the best clubs in Romania last season, as they finished second in "Liga 2" and automatically secured promotion. The newcomers have had a dream start to the top flight, where they were undefeated in the opening 10 rounds. However, the club from Sibiu has suffered an unexpected drop in form in recent times, which culminated in a slide in the table. They are currently in the red zone (7th position) with 30 points.
CFR Cluj vs Hermannstadt Betting Tips: Team1 to Win
A great clash was seen in the first meeting of these teams this season, played in Sibiu. The clash, which was marked by a "rain" of goals, belonged to the players of CFR Cluj, who won in a thriller of five goals premium soccer tips (3-2).
One gets the impression that the current champion has found a "championship" rhythm lately. Namely, CFR Cluj is undefeated in the previous 9 matches, and in that period they achieved as many as six triumphs, with two draws.
CFR Cluj, with a under 2.5 soccer tip 1-0 victory in mid-week, managed to spoil FCSB's phenomenal form and show that they remain the main contenders for the title. It was the fourth triumph for the club from Transylvania in the last five matches.
Hermannstadt's form looks worrying lately. An impressive 4-0 victory over Farul last time was only their second in the last 10 rounds. The impression is that this is not even a pale shadow of the team from the start of the season.
If you take into account that two of the three triumphs on the road came against the currently two weakest teams in the championship, the away form of the club from Sibiu can be characterized as very bad.
What also favors the home team in this match is the tradition of head-to-head clashes which shows that CFR Cluj came out as winners in each of the last four duels. In addition, the club from Transylvania are playing brilliantly at home and will aim to extend their fantastic streak to seven triumphs.
