UTA Arad vs CFR Cluj: match statistics
CFR Cluj approaches this meeting in outstanding form, winning all five of their last matches and scoring an impressive 13 goals during this period. Their offensive effectiveness (11% shot conversion away) exceeds that of UTA Arad (9% in home matches), and they also score more goals on average away (1.25) than the hosts do at home (1.33), with the visitors' recent form being decisively better. UTA Arad has a balanced goal difference at home (difference 0), but their home form is unstable with 42% wins and 25% losses.
