Steaua Bucharest vs. CFR Cluj - Preview

Steaua is coming after their most important win this season, a 3-1 away against their arch rivals Dinamo. Even though their game play suffers a lot, they’ve managed not to be completely pathetic in defense and very clinical up front. Still, there’s a long way until they will look like a decent team but this win surely gave them a morale boost. They have the same players they’ve used against Dinamo available.

CFR is another team who fails to impress, most of the time its players looking like there is the first time they meet on the pitch. But, the individual quality of the players is making the difference most of the time. Their attack is very good and their defense is quite shaky, only gk’s Beto saves preventing them for conceding more than 13 goals so far They also have a full squad to chose from.

Both teams are going for the win today, in order to reduce the gap between them and the leaders DInamo. Both are arrogant sides and both are diminishing their opponent, this being a possible cause for some surprises tonight. I believe we will see a furious games, with many attacking actions since none of these are quite good at killing the game (they do it without willing though…). In the past seasons, there were some highly entertaining games between Steaua and CFR, with goals scored and many big chances missed, therefore a bet on over looks like a logical choice.
