Team analysis: CFR
After finishing in a commendable position with points accumulated, the home side gained access to this stage of the European League (Qualification Round 1). CFR is significantly strengthened by their home advantage, having achieved 11 wins and 4 draws in their last 15 matches at home, against only 4 wins, 8 draws and 3 losses in 15 away fixtures. In their most recent encounter in Liga I, they triumphed over Unirea Slobozia at home by a score of 2-1. Notably, their defence has faced some challenges, conceding in 8 of their last 10 matches, but their attack has been consistently potent, scoring in 9 of those. Furthermore, they have conceded the first goal in 6 of their 15 matches and managed to turn the scoreboard around only once.
CFR Cluj enters this match with motivation following a 2-1 victory over Slobozia in the Romanian Championship. It’s worth noting that they previously drew 0-0 against PAKS FC in the first leg of the UEFA European League. The home team typically employs a 4-3-3 tactical system, favouring swift transitions, particularly down the flanks. Their primary attacking trio includes Mohammed Kamara, Marko Gjorgievski and Beni Nkololo, providing ample options to threaten their opponent’s goal. Coach Dan Petrescu will be pleased to have all players fit for this encounter.

In their last 10 away games, Paksi secured 5 wins, 4 draws and just 1 loss. Their defence has struggled, conceding in 7 of the last 10 matches, yet their attack has seen regular scoring, netting in 7 of those 10 games. It’s notable that 26 of their last 29 games produced more than 1.5 goals, indicating an attacking approach. This side often finds the net first: they have opened the scoring in 10 of their last 13 matches, with 8 of those maintaining their lead at half-time and 5 managing to stay ahead until the final whistle. In their last 20 matches across all competitions, they conceded 8 of their 21 goals in the late stages (76’–90′).
PAKSI comes into this match after drawing 0-0 against CFR Cluj in their last outing. The away team typically sets up in a traditional 5-3-2 formation, with Barna Teth and Zsolt Haraszti leading the line. In midfield, Balazs Balogh, József Windecker and Kristof PAPP are tasked with orchestrating the play, with PAPP central to their attacks. When they attack, they often channel play down the right flank, utilising the pace of defender Kristof Hinora. Coach György Bognár will be pleased to have all players fit for this match.
