Universitatea Cluj vs Botosani Tips & Live Streams – Both Sides to Score in Liga I
In the upcoming match, Universitatea Cluj are favorites but have shown defensive weaknesses in recent games, particularly against Brann. Botosani, on the other hand, have managed to score in both of their matches this season. Given these trends, the recommended bet is Both Teams To Score (BTTS), as both teams have the potential to find the net and defensive vulnerabilities are likely to be exposed.

Botosani had over 5.00 xG and 23 shots in the opening two rounds, so I like their chances of finding the net against struggling hosts. BTTS is the best bet here.

Hosts Having a Rough Start
Universitatea Cluj were lucky to collect three points in their Liga I season opening match against Farul Constanta (2-1), registering just two shots on target here while having lower xG and less possession.
Another attackingly shy performance was seen in the second round where they were deservedly beaten at Sepsi 1-0, creating just one goal chance here.
Cristiano Bergodi’s side also underperformed in their European matches earlier this month. First, they were eliminated in the UEL qualifiers by Dinamo Kiev on penalties (0-0 on aggregate), then lost 5-3 to Brann in the Conference League.
Botosani Carry Good Scoring Potential
Unlike their upcoming opponents, Botosani are still unbeaten in the new Romanian Liga I, collecting two points from two rounds so far.
Their new campaign started with a 2-2 road draw against recently promoted Voluntari where they were just two minutes away from claiming all three points. This was an open contest with total of 11 goal chances and 6.70 xG combined.
Botosani barely avoided defeat in their home premiere last weekend, Sebastian Mailat converting a late penalty against Dinamo Bucharest, the game ending in a 1-1 draw.
Team News
Striker Jovo Lukic could leave the club in next couple of days and join Besiktas. Goalkeeper Stefan Lefter is out with undisclosed injury, while defender Jonathan Cisse is recovering from a muscle tear.
As for the visitors, central defender Rijad Sadiku is out with a long-term ligament injury. Sebastian Mailat is their top contributor this season with one goal and one assist.
Verdict
Universitatea Cluj are tagged favorites here, but their back line looked disastrous in recent clashes against Brann. Botosani scored in both rounds so far, so BTTS is the standout selection.
