Astra CFR Cluj betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This game has all the ingredients to end with several goals on the scoreboard. Astra, at home, should enter with a more defensive attitude, calling the opponent to their midfield, to then move on to the counteroffensive and score the goal that can translate into three points. On the other hand, Cluj should assume the initiative of the match and have the best goal opportunities, since they have a more technically advanced team, capable of deciding the game at a moments notice. Having said that and taking into account the pattern of the last games between these two teams, risking in favor of “Over 2.5 goals” is a valuable bet.

Preview
Astra and CFR Cluj meet at Stadionul Marin Anastasovici, in a match for the 4th round of the Liga I. The head‑to‑head record at this stadium favours the away team, since in the last 10 head‑to‑heads they won 6, tied 3 and lost 1. Nevertheless, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the Liga I, played on 05‑07‑2020, they tied (2‑2). Astra registers significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth special attention.

Analysis Astra

After 1 draw and 2 losses, the home team is in the 15th position, havinf won 1 point so far. In the last match, they have tied at home against Sepsi by (2‑2), after in the previous match they have lost (2‑0) an away match against Universitatea Craiova. This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses in away matches; against 5 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses at their stadium. Astra has won 2, tied 6 and lost 2 of the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 13 of the last 19 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. The team has had problems scoring first, since they have only opened up the score once in the last 9 matches.

Astra Giurgiu comes to this match after a draw, by two balls, against Sespi, in a game counting for the third round of League I. Valentin Gheorghe scored the home team's two goals, scant to score three points in this match. It should be noted that the same man went to shower earlier, after being expelled at eighty-four minutes. With this result, the home team continues without winning in this edition of the Romanian championship, where they are penultimate classified with a point.
The host team should present in a 4-3-3, with Mihai Radut, Denis Alibec and Silviu Balaure being the most advanced men on the ground, tasked with launching panic in the opponent's area. Regarding the midfield, it should be formed by Romario Moise, Ljuban Crepulja and Gabriel Serban. For this match, coach Bogdan Andone cannot count on the services of Valentin Gheorghe.

Confirmed Lineup: David Lazăr, Daniel Graovac, David Bruno, Constantin Dima, Risto Radunović, Mihai Răduț, Takayuki Seto, Ljuban Crepulja, Denis Alibec, Ionuț Andrei Zaharia, Kehinde Fatai.
Coach: F. Stânga.

Analysis CFR

The away team is currently in the 4th position of the league, with 7 points won, after 2 wins and 1 draw. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Sepsi, by (0‑0). In the last match, they won in a home match against Hermannstadt, by (1‑0). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses in away matches, with 20 goals scored and 9 conceded; against 10 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 29 goals scored and 11 conceded. In the last 10 away matches CFR Cluj has won 6 and tied 4. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches.

CFR Cluj hosted and beat FC Hermannstadt by 1-0 in a match for the third round of the Romanian first league. Thus, they added the third game in a row without knowing the taste of defeat in the championship, where they are ranked third with seven points, the result of two wins and a draw. Paulo Vinícius, at sixty-six minutes, scored the lone goal, enough to give Cluj the three points.
Dan Petrescu's armada should play in the usual tactical design, the 4-3-3, with Valentin Costache, Mario Rondon and Gabriel Debeljuh being the main figures in the attack of the visitors. For its part, the central corridor should be formed by Damjan Dokovic, Mihai Bordeianu and Calalin Itu. Apparently, the CFR coach Cluj can count on all the players for this match against Astra.

Confirmed Lineup: Cristian Bălgrădean, Andrei Burcă, Paulo Vinícius, Mateo Sušić, Mário Camora, Alexandru Păun, Valentin Costache, Ovidiu Hoban, Cătălin Itu, Gabriel Debeljuh, Mario Rondon.
Coach: D. Petrescu.
