ℹ️ Team News: Universitatea Cluj
The Universitatea Cluj boss Ioan Sabău will be grateful not to have any fitness worries to speak of ahead of this match with a completely injury-free group available to choose from.

📰 Team News: Metaloglobus
Owing to a fully injury-free group available for selection, the Metaloglobus boss doesn’t have any fitness worries at all ahead of this match.
We reckon that Metaloglobus will likely begin the game with a 5-3-2 formation, settling for George Gavrilas, Aboubacar Camara, Tarek Aggoun, George Caramalau, Laurentiu Lis, Andrei Sava, Moses Abbey, Damia Sabater, Yassine Zakir, Dragos Huiban and Ely Fernandes.
✨ Prediction
Our feeling is that Universitatea Cluj should dominate possession and create several successful chances.
At the other end, Metaloglobus could well find it tough finding the net themselves although we do reckon that they could well end up getting enough chances to score, too.
We’re predicting a decent 3-1 winning margin for Universitatea Cluj by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
