CFR Cluj vs Lugano PREDICTION & BETTING TIPS - 31 July 2025

A place in the Europa League third qualifying round will be at stake when CFR Cluj and Lugano go head to head at Stadionul Dr. Constantin Radulescu on Thursday. The two teams played out a goalless draw in Switzerland and yet another close encounter is on the cards. With Karlo Muhar limping off with injury in the first leg, with Adrian Paun likely to step up. Meriton Korenica is only one yellow card away from suspension.

Lugano, on the other hand, failed to impress in the first leg and it has to be noted that Cluj even failed to score from the penalty spot. As over the years Cluj have turned their Stadionul Dr. Constantin Radulescu into a real fortress, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Switzerland empty-handed. The likes of Kendouci, Mahous, and Marques are out of contention with injuries, while Ivory Coast midfielder Ousmane Doumbia is a major doubt.
