Universitatea Cluj will be hosting Spesi at Cluj Arena for the 12th round of the Romanian Liga 1, in a replay of last season’s Cup final.
Universitatea Cluj spent five seasons in Liga 2 before finally making their return to the Romanian top-flight division. They finished 10th in their comeback season, just seven points clear of the relegation zone. In the current season, they currently sit in 11th place with 12 points, only three points behind the teams in the Championship Group.
Sepsi is in their seventh consecutive season in Liga 1. Although they have secured Cup titles in the last two seasons, their performance in the league has been far from impressive. The current season started off excellently for The Red and Whites, winning the Super Cup and performing well in the Europa Conference League Qualifiers and the domestic league. However, their recent string of losses in four consecutive Liga 1 games is a cause for concern.
Universitatea Cluj vs Sepsi pick: Universitatea Cluj to (AH 0) win
Universitatea Cluj is currently enjoying a four-game unbeaten streak in all competitions. Their last match against the league’s top team, FCSB, was outstanding as they managed to secure a 2-2 draw.
However, Sepsi’s current form is abysmal as they have suffered defeat in four Liga 1 matches and conceded a total of 12 goals, averaging three goals per game. Despite facing tough opponents, their performance is still considered unacceptable. Moreover, Sepsi’s recent record displays a lackluster performance as they have only managed to secure a single victory (a 1-0 win against UTA Arad at home) out of their last nine games across all competitions.
In the previous head-to-head game, Sepsi emerged as the winners in the Cup finals but only after a penalty shootout. However, during regular time, Universitatea Cluj displayed superior performance, despite the 0-0 scoreline. Considering their previous encounter and a significant contrast in form, we believe that Universitatea Cluj has a higher chance of winning the upcoming match.
