Our Prediction for Csikszereda vs CFR Cluj
The club from Miercurea Ciuc finished third in the country's second division last season. However, they ultimately managed to get promoted to the top tier for the first time in their history. The debutants are finding it tough, but they are gradually improving. At first, there were four consecutive draws, and in the most recent round, they claimed their first win—a 2-1 home victory over another Cluj-based club, Universitatea.
Their ambitious visitors from Cluj-Napoca won five league titles between 2018 and 2022, but have since started to lose their dominant position. Last season, they tried to reclaim the top spot but ultimately lost out to FCSB and had to settle for second place. This season, more than half of their matches have ended in draws, with fewer wins than losses. In the Europa League, after getting past Paksi and Lugano, they were beaten by Braga. In the Conference League, they suffered a heavy 2-7 defeat to Häcken right away.
The newcomer scores an average of 1.09 goals per match but concedes much more—2.09. The runner-up already has a negative ratio: 1.55 goals scored and 1.91 conceded per game.
