CFR Cluj vs Maribor: Top Free Betting Tips

Cluj and Maribor are two equally strong teams and we saw it in the first match which ended in a goalless draw. Here are our predictions for this game.

Total Goals – Under 2.5

The first game between these two teams ended in a 0:0 draw and we do not expect to see three goals in the second match either. Maribor, for instance, are definitely our of shape and they have not been scoring a lot of goals in most of their games. Specifically, on the road, the team has been having serious issues against much weaker teams and Cluj are their biggest challenge yet this year. We expect an under with goals from Cluj alone.

Match Result – Cluj

Cluj have been having issues on the road in the Europa Conference League this season and their three away games ended in draws. At home, however, they have been something different and the team destroyed all opponents. Maribor have had serious struggles on the road and lost against Sheriff Tiraspol in the Champions League and then against HJK in the Europa League qualifiers. In both games, they failed to score a goal. Cluj will be the biggest opponent yet, so we expect something similar.

Both Teams To Score – No

As explained above, Maribor have had serious struggles. HJK and Sheriff Tiraspol are weaker teams than them and definitely worse than Cluj, and Maribor failed to score against both sides. Cluj's defense is on a much higher level and Maribor are unlikely to score in this match. We think that Cluj will win this game with 1 or 2 goals but without conceding a goal.

CFR Cluj vs Maribor: Form, Recent Games, and News

CFR Cluj Preview

Cluj are the current champions in Romania and they shockingly lost against Pyunik Yerevan in the Champions League a month ago. The team will be extra motivated to reach the group stage of the ECL with a win over Maribor. They have an incredible attack but their defense is absolutely unbelievable. The team conceded 16 goals in 30 fixtures in the previous campaign in Romania.

Maribor Preview

On this side, we have the current Champions of Slovenia. The team also failed in its own Champions League qualifications and has one final chance to reach the group stage of the Europa Conference League. The team has a solid attack too and quite the impressive defense too. Their goal difference after 36 rounds last season was 57:37. They will have their chances, no doubt, but the team is in bad shape right now and hasn't got a win in eight consecutive games in all tournaments.
