Match description
Oţelul Galaţi is the favorite based on offensive form — the hosts have scored 12 goals in the last 5 matches (an average of 2.4 goals per game), while CFR Cluj have scored only 4 goals (0.8 goals per game). Oţelul also posts a higher points coefficient over the last 5 fixtures: 2.2 points per game versus 1.8 for the visitors, which translates into more wins (3 of 5 for the hosts vs 2 of 5 for the visitors). Defensively the advantage lies with the visitors — CFR conceded only 2 goals in those five matches (0.4 goals per game) compared to 6 conceded by Oţelul (1.2 goals per game), meaning any home victory could be narrow. Both teams remain unbeaten in the last 5 matches (Oţelul: 3 wins and 2 draws; CFR: 2 wins and 3 draws), so the risk of a draw is real given the visitors’ defensive resilience. On that basis I tip a home win due to Oţelul’s offensive superiority, while the forecast also accounts for a moderate probability of a draw because of CFR’s solid defensive form.
