Slavia Prague v FC CFR 1907 Cluj Betting Tips [29 August 2019]
The match
A 1-0 win away in Romania in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League playoffs puts Slavia Prague in a great position against CFG Cluj ahead of their home leg. The hosts have not made it to the group stage of the competition since their debut in 2007/08, while the Romanians are waiting for their first appearance since 2012/13. Since their previous appearance 12 years back, Slavia have lost in the preliminary rounds four times and are looking to make it out of the qualifiers for only the second time. Incidentally, the 1-0 win in the first leg was just their second win in the competition for 16 matches (W2, D7, L7). It is slightly better at home, as Slavia are unbeaten in ten Champions League matches played at this venue (W3, D6, L1). Cluj started this year qualification with a 1-0 loss to Astana, but have stitched a five-match unbeaten run (W3, D2) until the first-leg loss. The visitors have now lost three of their five matches against Czech opposition (W2, L3). After suffering a home first-leg loss, the Romanians have lost both their European ties.
Key Statistics
- Slavia have won just two of their last 16 Champions League fixtures (W2, D7, L7).
- Slavia are unbeaten in seven matches against Romanian opposition (W3, D4), that included a home record of W2, D1.
- Cluj have lost only one of their last nine Champions League away matches (W5, D3, L1).
The bet of our experts
Slavia have been struggling in the competition for long enough to be desperate for a win in this tie. The first-leg 1-0 win over CFR Cluj was just their second in the competition for almost 12 years. Their home form in the recent matches has been impressive, as they started the league with consecutive home wins, both with clean sheets. However, Cluj will be equally desperate to get into the group stages and will look to override the first leg deficit. All in all, this promises to be an interesting affair that might see the hosts pip the visitors to the post.
