CFR Cluj hosts Lincoln Red Imps in the second leg of the Champions League qualification quarterfinals. The match will be played on Wednesday, July 28th at Stadionul Dr. Constantin Rădulescu (Cluj-Napoca)
CFR (Cluj) is not very impressive so far. The Railwaymen managed to stumble even in the championship, which started in the middle of the month. And they would have already left the Champions League if the regulations had not changed and the away goal rule had not been canceled. Having beaten Borac at home with a 3-1 score, the Romanians became very relaxed and lost 0-2 in regulation time in Banja Luka. But that result has transferred the match into overtime, where Cluj players woke up and achieved their goal. The goal of Chipciu turned the defeat into a victorious outcome of the two-legged confrontation. However, the Romanians lost the first half in Gibraltar. And they were lucky to have Gabriel Debeljuh. His double allowed Cluj to gain a comeback victory.

As representatives of a tiny enclave, Lincoln Red Imps are accustomed to rejoice at even modest successes. And this season they were able to finally gain victory in the European cup qualifiers. There was an opportunity to gain it already in Luxembourg, but Fola Esch won back from 0-2 thanks to a powerful segment in the middle of the 2nd half. Nevertheless, Lincoln took into account its mistakes and did not stop after a couple of goals in the home match (only after six). Moreover, the Red Imps managed to offer decent resistance to CFR Cluj and even won the 1st half, crowning it with a goal of Marco Rosa. But the Romanians responded very quickly and not only equalized (in the 52nd minute) but also took the lead (in the 58th minute). The irony is that the goalkeepers never made a single save. Now Lincoln needs to win in Cluj, but the Red Imps can already consider the campaign in the Champions League successful.
Gibraltar has only recently managed to receive official status from UEFA, and its representatives have not lingered in European competitions either. So, it is not surprising that Lincoln Red Imps played against CFR for the first time. We think that both teams will choose offensive tactics in their return match, so we recommend betting on Over 3.0 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 goals scored
