Universitatea Craiova got a 2-1 win over UTA Arad in their last game. Andrej Fabry opened the scoring for UTA Arad in the 18th minute before Jovo Lukic equalised in the 68th minute, and Alexandru Mitrita scored the winner in the 82nd minute. The Lions from Bănie remain unbeaten in all competitions in their last three and 13 home games. They sit second on the table with 28 points in 17 games, scoring 28 and conceding 17.

CFR Cluj were held to a 1-1 draw in their last game against FC Rapid Bucuresti. Alin Fica opened the scoring for CFR Cluj in the 81st minute, but the lead only lasted 9 minutes. However, they remain unbeaten in all competitions in the last eight games. They sit third on the table with 28 points in 17 games, scoring 28 goals and conceding 20.

Both sides have met 18 times since 2021. Universitatea Craiova won 7, CFR Cluj won 5, and 6 games ended in draws. The last match between them ended in a 2-0 win for Universitatea Craiova.

Both sides have had similar forms this season, placing them at the same point on the table. However, Universitatea Craiova have been exceptional at home, with a 13-game unbeaten run at the Complex Sportiv Craiova. I expect them to secure the win with this and the fact that they are unbeaten in 7 of the last eight head-to-head games between the two sides. I also expect both sides to score in this game because they both have the most goals scored in the league this season.
