Ceahlaul vs. U Cluj DNB - Preview

U are in a visible uptrend since coach Badea was replaced by Claudiu Niculescu, proving once more that a coach has to be first accepted by the players in order to succeed. A change of attitude was noticed in the last games and they now hold chances to fulfill their goal, a European qualification, especially considering the late  funny results of the top teams. They will have a number of missing players for today but they have adequate cover for them since the roster is quite balanced and nobody is irreplaceable there. Marinescu, Grecu and Matache are definitely out while Galamaz and Szukala are doubtful, the first one having big chances to start today. Midfielder Bostina is suspended.

Ceahlaul players showed a lot of sufficiency last round, losing clearly to Chiajna. This is quite typical for a small team, whose players relaxed after 2 wins in a row against Rapid and Petrolul. They’ve moved above the relegation zone but the situation could change in the future if they won’t change their attitude. Star player Lucas Garcia is still injured while Stana, one of their most inform players lately is suspended.

U has a more mature squad and a higher overall value than their opponents. Their coach declared they will go for a win since they won’t meet any top team in the fore coming rounds and this is a good opportunity to gather some points in order to fulfill their objective. They look more determined than Ceahlaul at the moment and, if they will treat this game seriously, they have big chances to snatch all the 3 points. The price for the away win is worth a try for small stakes and also the DNB option could be considered for a more safer approach.
