FCSB vs CFR Cluj: match statistics
FCSB presents solid form in the last five matches (3 wins), although CFR Cluj remains unbeaten in the same period (3 wins, 2 draws). The key advantage for the hosts is their efficiency at their own stadium – 40% wins in home matches and a higher average xG (1.84 vs 1.33 for the visitors). CFR Cluj has a weaker away record with only 18% victories and a negative goal difference (-6), which further speaks in favor of FCSB. The hosts also hold an advantage in ball possession (59% vs 47%) and better shot conversion in home matches. Taking all factors into account, FCSB has better chances of victory, although CFR Cluj's solid recent form makes a draw a realistic scenario.
