CFR Cluj vs CS U Craiova Prediction & Betting Tips

CFR Cluj vs CS U Craiova Preview

CFR Cluj host CS U Craiova in a Romania SuperLiga clash that promises to be competitive and closely contested. Craiova hold the upper hand in recent head-to-head meetings, but CFR will be looking to use their strong home record to turn things around here.

Recent meetings heavily favours Craiova. They beat CFR 2-0 at home in April, won 3-1 in a cup fixture in March, and claimed a 2-3 away win at CFR in August 2025. CFR’s only consolation from this recent rivalry was a 1-1 draw at Craiova in December 2025.

CFR Cluj Reliable At Home Despite Craiova’s Recent Head-To-Head Dominance

CFR have won three of their last five matches overall. They beat Universitatea Cluj 1-0 at home last time out and won 0-1 away at Arges in April, showing composure in both fixtures. Their only real disappointment was the 2-0 home defeat to Craiova earlier in April.

At home, CFR have been impressive and hard to beat. Their last five home matches include wins over Universitatea Cluj, Rapid Bucuresti, and Dinamo Bucuresti, with only a draw against Dinamo and the Craiova loss disrupting an otherwise commanding home record.

CS U Craiova Outstanding Form Backed By Clinical And Relentless Away Performances

Craiova have been in excellent form, winning four of their last five matches. They beat Dinamo Bucuresti 2-1 last time out and won 0-1 away at Arges in late April. Their only setback was a heavy 4-0 defeat at Universitatea Cluj, which was a surprising blip in an otherwise strong campaign.

Away from home, Craiova have been outstanding. They won 0-1 at Arges, 0-1 at Dinamo Bucuresti, and 0-3 at Unirea Slobozia in their last five away matches, making them a genuinely dangerous and confident travelling side going into this fixture.

CFR Cluj vs CS U Craiova Prediction

Despite the difficult head-to-head record, CFR Cluj’s strong home form makes them worth backing at 2.75 odds. Their disciplined home displays suggest they can reverse the recent trend against Craiova on their own ground.

For the goals market, both teams to score no fits the pattern of tight encounters in this fixture, with CFR known for keeping things compact at home. That market is available at 1.85 odds.

For the correct score, CFR Cluj winning 1-0 looks a realistic outcome given their tendency to grind out narrow home victories. That scoreline is priced at 8.00 odds.
