Match description
I back the away win (2). Universitatea Cluj are in strong form — 5 wins in their last 5 matches and 12 goals scored in that period (avg. 2.4 per match), while Rapid have won 3 of 5 and scored 8 goals (1.6 per match). Rapid at home average 1.81 goals scored and concede 1.13, whereas the visitors away score 1.63 and concede only 0.94; home xG for Rapid is 1.58 versus 1.46 xG for the visitors, but xG against Cluj on the road is 1.57, suggesting their low goals conceded may be down to strong goalkeeping. Cluj also have a higher away win rate (63% vs 56% for the home side) and more clean sheets (38% vs 19%), while Rapid attempt more shots (14.69 vs 12.94) with similar shot conversion (12% vs 13%). Based on this I give the visitors the highest chances: 45% win, 30% for the home side and 25% draw.
