Prediction for the match Universitatea Cluj - Unirea Slobozia
The "Students" went through bankruptcy in 2017, but quickly returned to Romania's top division. However, they have not shown anything significant, finishing only in 10th place in both the previous and the last season. Last spring, the "Yellow-Blues" won Liga 2, which earned them the right to debut in the top division.
The Liga 1 newcomer is at least not the worst, and that's already a good result. But most of their matches still end in defeats. In 2025, they started with a victory over Sepsi, but then continued to lose. In the last round, they lost narrowly 0-1 to the other Universitatea team, from Craiova. The Cluj-Napoca club is on par with CFR, although they win no more than half of their matches. In 2025, despite victories at home, they have consistently dropped points on the road. In the previous round, they also finished with a draw, 2-2, against Poli Iași.
Under Ioan Sabău, they score an average of 1.46 goals per match. At the same time, they concede noticeably fewer goals — 0.88. The guests have a negative goal difference: they score about 1 goal per match, but concede 1.62.
