Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
A place in the Conference League third qualifying round will be at stake when Adana and Cluj go head to head at Yeni Adana Stadyumu on Thursday evening. With first leg finishing as a 1-1 draw, a close encounter is on the cards and we are positive that both sides will leave their hearts on the field. Experience winger Nani should once again start from the bench, leaving his place in the starting XI to Morocco international Younes Belhanda.
The Romanian outfit, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Universitatea Craiova in the national championship. As previously mentioned, the two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment and, taking everything into account, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. As for the away side, Spain forward Jefte Betancor is widely expected to return to the starting XI.
Highlighted Team (CFR Cluj):
Cluj are one of the oldest clubs in Romania as they were founded back in 1907 when the city of Cluj-Napoca was part of Austria-Hungary. The Feroviarii host their rivals at Dr. Constantin Radulescu Stadium, the venue which can hold up to 23,500 spectators.
Cluj are one of the most successful Romanian clubs of the 21st century, with the team clinching their fifth domestic trophy in the 2018/2019 season. Universitatea Cluj are considered the club’s fiercest rivals and it has to be noted that they first faced each other back in October, 1920.
The Feroviarii hold rivalries with Dinamo Bucuresti, Rapid Bucuresti, FCSB, Universitatea Craiova and Politehnica Timisoara as well. Speaking of European competitions, Cluj did well to make it to the UEFA Intertoto Cup final in 2005, with the team losing to French club Lens in the double-header. Cluj footballers wear claret shirts and claret shorts when playing at home, whilst the club’s away kit is white.
