General match analysis
CFR Cluj have been exceptionally strong at home, winning every home match so far, scoring an average of 3 goals and conceding none. The hosts are also creating better chances, reflected in their average xG of 1.73 compared with Farul’s 1.44, while they register 6 shots on target per game versus 4.5 for their opponents. Farul are yet to win away from home, drawing 75% of their matches and conceding an average of 1.5 goals, with an xG against of 1.63. The visitors have been difficult to beat in their last five matches, recording three draws and just one defeat, but their away conversion rate is only 8%, compared with CFR’s 21%. Both teams’ recent results have been inconsistent, but Cluj’s home advantage and significantly stronger defensive solidity point to a home win.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
CFR Cluj have kept a clean sheet in 67% of their matches, while at home they concede an average of just 0.67 goals, with an xG against of 0.96. Farul are not prolific scorers, averaging 1.25 goals per match and just 1.0 goal across their last five outings. The hosts possess strong attacking potential, averaging 1.67 goals, an xG of 1.87, and 7.33 shots on target per match, making a CFR goal clearly likely. At the same time, CFR’s BTTS rate is only 33%, compared with 46% for the league as a whole, which, combined with the quality of their defence, suggests that Farul may fail to score. Although Farul have recorded BTTS in 100% of their matches so far, their recent results and the hosts’ solid defence reduce the significance of this signal. Therefore, the BTTS - No / No Goal scenario is preferred: it means that at least one team will fail to score, not necessarily that the match will finish 0:0 or that neither team will score.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
CFR Cluj average 1.87 xG at home and score 1.67 goals per match, while Farul allow opponents 1.63 xG away from home and concede an average of 1.50 goals. Farul score an average of 1.25 goals and record 1.44 xG, while Cluj’s recently weaker defence has conceded as many as 12 goals in five matches, allowing opponents an average of 1.80 xG. The 1.5 line was covered in 67% of Cluj’s matches and in every Farul match, clearly supporting the scenario of at least two goals. At the same time, higher lines are less reliable, as 67% of Cluj’s matches finished below 2.5 goals and 75% of Farul’s matches featured no more than three goals. The strongest edge therefore lies with Over 1.5, in line with the forecast of 2.45 goals in the match.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
CFR Cluj have a clear advantage in their home results: they average 2.33 points per match, win 67% of their games and concede just 0.67 goals, while Farul have not won away from home and draw 75% of their away matches. The opening period could nevertheless be evenly balanced, as the hosts were level at the break in 67% of their home games, compared with 50% of Farul’s away fixtures. In their last five appearances, CFR scored just 0.4 goals before half-time and conceded 1.2, which reduces the likelihood of the hosts taking an early lead. After the break, their stronger season-long quality works in their favour: their xG stands at 1.87 compared with Farul’s 1.44, while opponents average 1.63 xG against them. A draw at half-time followed by a CFR Cluj victory at the final whistle best combines a cautious first-half profile with the hosts’ clear advantage in full-time results.
