UTA has squad trouble for this game against CFR Cluj with Simao and Hora suspended and Amoreinha , Marginean , Pedro Oliveira are not allowed to play because they were borrowed from CFR ( UTA has 5 CFR players in the lot ). Hutan, Edson, Mihut, Pascovici, Varga and Radovanovici are injured . UTA is very very close to be relegated this year and only a miracle can save them . They lost important games against possible relegation opponents which proves UTA is weaker and should go to 2nd league . Their coach quit few days ago .
CFR is back on track . After few unsuccesfull games which brough them to 2nd place CFR managed to find their rhytm beating Rapid 1-0 at home ( important win ) in the league and 3-0 win over Dacia Mioveni ( in the Cup ) .
Last 5 games at home , Uta scored just 2 goals which proves how bad they are . Uta is concentrated most on defense and if they concede an early goal their tactics is exposed . Of course CFR is big favourite to win this game but I don’t like the price offered . I would like to go with less than 3 goals scored because UTA’s games went just 6 times over 3 goals in last 20 games while CFR’s games went over 2.5 8 times from 20 games .
I consider this game very hard for both teams and few goals are expected here .
UTA probable team : D.Tudor - I.Balan, Marincau,
CFR probable team: Nuno Claro - Tony, Cadú, Galiassi, Dorsin (Panin) - Manuel Jose, Dani, Muresan, Culio - Semedo, Diego Ruiz (Fabbiani);
My pick :
UTA – CFR Cluj Under 2.5 goals @ 1.75
