Cluj did not start the new season in the best way, suffering a surprising defeat in the first round of the championship. Shortly after, the team played its first match in the Conference League, where they could only manage a draw against Alashkert. Just a few days later, the return match is approaching, which means that the hosts need to carefully manage their resources between the two tournaments. However, before the European clash, Cluj has an important league commitment against Voluntari.
The gap in class remains noticeableVoluntari left a good impression with their performance in the friendly matches before the start of the season, and in the first round of the championship, they drew with Botoșani in a high-scoring match. Nevertheless, the visitors do not seem like a team that can be compared to the class of Cluj. The hosts will undoubtedly also be thinking about the upcoming return match in the Conference League, but that does not change the fact that they have a higher quality squad and will be playing in front of their own fans, where they will be seeking a necessary success.
Prediction: Victory for ClujDespite the busy schedule and the upcoming European match, I expect Cluj to find a way to win this match. The gap in class between the two teams seems large enough, and the home advantage further increases Cluj's chances of achieving their first league victory of the season.
