Universitatea Craiova Universitatea Cluj betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match is that there will be some goals. Universitatea Craiova plays at its best at home, where it has secured most of its victories and scored the majority of its goals, having lost only once. Universitatea Cluj, on the other hand, plays away in its worst condition, but its attack has been scoring regularly nonetheless. We expect an open game, with a slight advantage for the home team, but with goal-scoring opportunities for both sides. Therefore, betting on the "Over 1.5 Goals" market in this match seems like a good option.
