Universitatea Cluj is set to play against Craiova this Sunday, but recent performance trends suggest a low-scoring match. Cluj hasn't managed to score in their last two games against Craiova and have continued to struggle with offensive efficiency during pre-season friendlies. The key recommendation for fans and analysts is to expect no more than two goals total during the match.

Universitatea Cluj didn’t score a single goal in their last four matches, while Craiova have impressive defensive numbers. I don’t expect a lot of action in the Romanian Super Cup finals. 

Key Stats  


  • Universitatea Craiova have kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 5 matches. 
  • Universitatea Cluj have failed to score in 5 of their last 6 matches (including pre-season friendlies). 

Craoiva Lead H2H 


Universitatea Craiova have a 10-2 advantage against Universitatea Cluj in terms of h2h victories, 5 clashes ending without a winner. 

Hosts Won Both the Romanian League and Cup Last Season 


Universitatea Craiova became the Romanian champions last season for the first time since 1991, which is their fifth domestic title, finishing four points ahead of Universitatea Cluj.  

They were also victorious in the Romanian Cup finals, beating the same opponent after a penalty shootout (0-0 in regular time). 

Start of the new campaign is looking very promising too, beating ML Vitebsk 4-1 as visitors in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers on Wednesday. Assad Al Hamlawi was the standout performer here, netting a brace in the first half. 

Cluj Struggled in Pre-Season 


As mentioned, Universitatea Cluj were left emptyhanded in all domestic competitions last season, losing the title race by four points as well as the cup finals on penalties. 

They also struggled in pre-season, registering back to back heavy defeats against Vojvodina 3-0 and Nyiregyhaza 3-0, while the match against Ujpest ended in a goalless draw.   

Cluj were also active during the mid-week, locking horns against Dinamo Kiev in the Europa League qualifiers on a neutral ground. This clash ended 0-0 where the Ukrainian side had 63% possession and 27-3 shots. 

Team News


Craiova’s goalkeeper Pavlo Isenko is injured, while winger Alexandru Iamandache is doubtful due to a knee problem.  

Right back Dino Mikanovic is out with a muscle problem for the visiting side, while striker Quadri Taiwo is doubtful. 

Verdict

Universitatea Cluj didn’t score in their last two head to head matches against Craiova, while also struggling with efficiency in recent pre-season friendlies. I don’t expect more than two goals total on Sunday.
