CFR Cluj hosts AS Roma in round 4 of the Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, November 26th at Stadionul Dr. Constantin Rădulescu (Cluj-Napoca)
In recent years, CFR Cluj has received the status of the strongest club in its native country. However, not everything is working out even on this front. Eleven matches of the new draw brought 21 points, but Steaua and KSU Craiova earned more. In the Champions League, the Romanians eliminated only the Maltese Floriana and lost to Dynamo Zagreb at home (Cluj equalized in the 90th minute but lost in a penalty shootout). Having got into the simpler environment of the “junior” European Cup, CFR managed to eliminate Djurgarden and KuPS in qualifiers and even started the group stage with a victory over CSKA Sofia. Nevertheless, the Romanians failed to build on the success (a 1-1 draw with Young Boys and defeat in Rome).

The Wolves started the season with disgrace. It was a misfire just not to beat Verona at home (2:2), but then the federation awarded a forfeit defeat to the Romans because they fielded a player who didn’t have the right to take part in that match. However, this defeat remains the only one for the Roman club this fall. Despite the rumors about the desire of the new leadership to get rid of Paulo Fonseca, he provides a decent result. Since then, Gialorossi have lost points only in matches with Juventus and Milan (both ended in scoring draws), winning all five other games and rising to the top three. In the Europa League, the Italians seriously surprised the experts by making a misfire where it was least expected. They tied with the Bulgarian CSKA at home and even failed to score. Nevertheless, Roma beat Young Boys on the road and destroyed Cluj in the last round (5:0). As a result, it is three points ahead of a couple of pursuers. Now the Romans need to solve tournament tasks in the Europa League and switch to Serie A.
Before this season, Romanians and Italians have crossed their paths twice in the Champions League. And everything was not so hopeless for CFR Cluj - it even won and gained a draw. However, the Wolves won 5-0 due to Borja Mayoral's double on November 5. It is unlikely that the Romans will succeed in repeating the romp that was at the Stadio Olimpico. But is it so necessary? Anyway, Roma is clearly stronger, so we will bet on the victory of the visitors.
Prediction for the match: AS Roma to win
