CFR Cluj

CFR got to know how humiliation tastes like for the first time since they are involved in Champions League, being hammered by Bayern Munich in front of their own crowd.

The atmosphere within the team is getting worse, the coach is accusing players for not following his indications, while players are complaining for not receiving their promised bonuses for winning the championship and the cup in the previous season.

Cartu will make 4 or 5 changes in the squad, starting from central-back Alcantara, midfielder Peralta who is not on the CL list, Costa for Emil Dica and because Traore is suspended we might see Bjeloanvic from the first minute.

Lacina Traore and Leonardo Veloso are suspended (both received red cards in the previous stage) while Yssouf Kone and Gabriel Muresan are still injured.

Dinamo Bucuresti (5th W7 D2 L4)

It’s a match of all or nothing for Dinamo, at least that is what they declared all week long, describing it as the game that could bring back their chances in the battle for the title.

Dinamo however has to fight with a negative record in Cluj, the last time they’ve won there is back in 1974, since then they’ve suffered 4 defeats, while two games ended in a draw.

Dinamo is travelling to Cluj with the best away record from the league, only 1 defeat against Unirea Urziceni, 2 draws and 3 wins. They also scored the most goals in both away games (14-8) and overall (32-24).

The only absent for coach Ioan Andone is D. Kone, but he is not a regular in the first 11 so it can be said that he has the full squad at his disposal. He chose a 4-4-2 system, with A. Cristea and M. Niculae in front helped by wingers Torje and Ad. Cristea.

Dinamo Bucaresti's last 5 away results :
22.10.2010 Liga 1 Etapa 12 Gloria Bistrita 0 - 2 Dinamo
27.09.2010 Liga 1 Etapa 9 Unirea Urziceni 1 - 0 Dinamo
12.09.2010 Liga 1 Etapa 7 FC Brasov 2 - 2 Dinamo
21.08.2010 Liga 1 Etapa 5 FCM Târgu-Mureş 2 - 6 Dinamo
08.08.2010 Liga 1 Etapa 3 Pandurii Tg. Jiu 2 - 2 Dinamo

The Betting Verdict

Two of the shakiest defenses meet today, 44 goals conceded by Dinamo and CFR in just 13 games. Adding this to Dinamo’s firepower (32 goals scored) I think there are good premises to see some goals, at least 3 in my opinion.

Dinamo could take advantage of the fact that CFR had a demanding game in midweek, while they had the whole week to prepare for this game, and the hosts are also frustrated by the position on the table which makes them to play every game under tremendous pressure.

I rate Dinamo with good chances to obtain point or points, but the best betting option for me would be over 2.5 goals or both teams to score as it’s hard to believe that any of the teams can win with a 3 goal difference.
