CFR 1907 Cluj vs Farul Constanta Prediction

Right then, let's fire up the braai and look at this Liga I clash! CFR Cluj hosts Farul Constanta in what looks like a tasty matchup between two teams stuck in the middle of the table.

Looking at the form guide, neither side is exactly setting the league alight lately. CFR's been drawing more than a bored politician - five draws in their last ten games, including recent 2-2 stalemates against Csikszereda and Universitatea Cluj. They did manage a 2-1 home win against Hermannstadt, but then followed it up with a disappointing 1-0 loss to Petrolul.

Farul's been even worse on their travels, boet! They've managed just one win in six away games and are scoring a pathetic 0.67 goals per game on the road. Their recent away form reads like a horror story: losses to Rapid (3-1), Craiova (2-0), and Hermannstadt (1-0), with only a 1-1 draw against Dinamo to show for their efforts.

But here's the kicker - CFR owns Farul at home! Historically, they've won 80% of their home matches against these guys, including a thumping 4-1 win last time they met. The head-to-head stats don't lie - CFR has netted 21 goals in 9 meetings against Farul.

The stats tell a clear story: CFR averages 1.50 goals at home while Farul manages just 0.67 away from home. With CFR unbeaten in their last four home matches and Farul struggling to find the net on the road, this looks like a home banker.

Both teams leak goals like a sieve, but CFR's home advantage and superior H2H record should see them through. The odds of 1.80 for a home win look like good value for a team that's historically dominant at home against this opposition.

Key Points:

• CFR unbeaten in last 4 home games (2W, 2D)

• Farul terrible away: only 1 win in 6 away games

• CFR wins 80% of home matches vs Farul historically

• Last meeting ended 4-1 to CFR

• Farul scores just 0.67 goals per game away

• CFR averages 1.50 goals per game at home

The home side should have enough meat on the bone to secure all three points here. Farul's away form is shocking, and CFR's home record against them speaks for itself. Time to back the home team!
