Most people already see CFR Cluj as title winners this season , but the truth is that if they do not concentrate they will fail to win the title.The pressure is on as the most probable outcome for the Rapid - Steaua match will be a 3-0 win for Steaua after the referee was hit by a lighter on the head and stopped the match in the 73rd minute.
A Steaua win with Rapid would mean only a 6 point gap between CFR and Steaua.
First of all i want to state here that the odds seem a little bit to generous in my opinion.A main reason for that would be the fact that CFR hasn't played the best possible football in the last two Liga I matches against Ceahlaul (on the 15th 0-0 score away) and Farul Constanta (on the 19th 2-1 score at home).Another reason for the generous odds is the fact that CFR's Captain Cadu will be out for this match.Along with Cadu, another influential defender in the CFR Squad will be out for this math, Tony.
Poli Iasi is kind of a mid table team, but this season , due to some periods in which players were injured, they were even one on the teams in the relegation zone.But they managed to step up their game and they now are on the 11th position.They are 6 points away from a relegation spot but the good thing for them is that the future is in their hands.They do have matches with other teams that are in the position to avoid relegation, so the main idea is that, if Poli play they cards the right way, they should have no major problems avoiding relegation this season(taking in consideration the potential of their squad and couch).
But today Poli has to face CFR.One of the best teams right now, as Poli Iasi's couch said.They have players like Trica or Semedo who can decide a match , even if the team does not play that well.
Taking a look at what the statistics have to say, it's been 2 away matches for Cluj in which they did not manage to get a win.I doubt that this will continue, they don't want it becoming a habit, especially now when they are the top title contenders.
I've place a CFR Cluj win - Draw No Bet bet here as i believe that Poli Iasi is a rather strong team here and i woudn't be surprised if they get a draw here, but the best team in this match is CFR and they should win this one.
Odds of 1.57 are good, under the circumstances and my stake is a medium to high one.Good Luck.
