Free soccer predictions
Lukas Masopust opened the gate to the Champions League for Slavia Prague in the first leg at Cluj with his goal. Keeper Ondřej Kolář distinguished himself with a saved penalty. Otherwise, the first duel was fairly balanced. Our prediction has not yet been decided for the group stage of the premier class, even though Slavia now of course has the best conditions. The team of Jindrich Trpisovsky is from the point of view of the bookmaker as a clear favorite in the return leg, tip 1 is quoted at just over 1.60.

It would be Slavias 2nd participation in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League after 12 years. In the last two years, the club came in the first round of the Europa League. Last year, for the first time in 11 years, it wintered again in Europe. The Prague came even to the quarter-finals of the Europa League, where only against the eventual champion Chelsea final stop.

In the sixteenth final Genk was knocked out, in the second round Sevilla on penalties. As good as the club last acted in the 2nd category of international football, so little looked out in the Champions League. The victory at Cluj was the first for Slavia after seven draws and defeats. The only playoff of a Champions League qualifier was lost to Apoel Nicosia. However, the Prague are still immaculate against Romanian teams: Including first leg there were 7 duels, 4 times Slavia prevailed, 3 games ended with a draw.

Therefore, according to our forecasts, it can be well typed for a home win. In addition, Cluj is not as strong as the former Champions League (qualifying) opponents Slavia had before them. This is already apparent from the market value comparison: the Prague squad is estimated to be around € 40 million, Cluj's to € 25. Moreover, the Romanian league is much weaker compared to the Czech Republic. In the UEFA five-year ranking, the Czechs rank 13th and Romania 30th.

Can Cluj turn around the pairing in Prague?
Free soccer predictions
CFR Cluj did well in the first match with Slavia Prague. In the end, they were beaten in front of their home crowd due to a missed penalty by Billel Omrani and the group stage of the Champions League was a long way off. But with only one away goal for the team of coach Dan Petrescu everything is still inside. Accordingly, our prediction for Cluj in Prague will be highly motivated. The guests are but crass underdog, Tip 2 throws betting odds of over 6.00.

If you give the Romanians at least one point, you can play a double chance bet with X / 2. This is quoted at over 2.20. For Cluj it is the fourth group stage in the Champions League, the first in 7 years. This year, the Petrescu-Elf already had Astana, Maccabi Tel Aviv and - surprisingly - throw Celtic out of the competition to participate in the playoff. At the 4: 3 in Glasgow in the round before the Romanians have shown that they can also succeed against internationally experienced teams away. Omrani became a match winner with a brace - 1 goal by penalty.

Cluj came away with 2 goals in the last 10 minutes. It was the first international away win after 2 defeats and 1 draw. The Romanians won in Basel and Manchester United several years ago, but the times are long gone. Meanwhile, you lose guest performances in Astana and Dudelange.
Free soccer tips
In 10 of the last 12 away games with CFR participation less than 2.5 goals. 11 of the 12 recent Slavia home games also saw fewer than 2.5 goals. In an under 2.5 goal bet we see a good alternative in the odds comparison. Cluj has not been in any UEFA group stage for 7 years. That will change this year, because even a defeat in this playoff means at least Europa League. In the previous year, the team lost in the Champions League qualifier against Malmö, in the playoff to the Europa League against Dudelange finally excrete from international business. Our predictions will make it hard for the Romanians to get something in the Czech capital.

CFR Cluj - Statistics & Current Form
Free soccer predictions
Of course, the Romanian champion travels to the 0: 1 in the first leg as an outsider to Prague. However, we must not forget that the team of Dan Petrescu is in excellent condition. In the national league Cluj is after seven matchdays also at the top of the classification and is still unbeaten with 17 points.

However, the cushion on the pursuers is significantly lower than in Slavia. Three of the clubs are the defending champion with 15 counters in the neck. However, a look at the shape of CFR makes it clear that it would not be a surprise if the lead could be increased in the coming weeks.
Free soccer picks
Cluj had to face only one defeat in the last 13 competitive games, namely the 0: 1 in the last week at home against the Czech champions. That could mean that in the second leg between Slavia Prague and CFR Cluj we would not consider a prediction on double chance X2 impossible.

Last weekend, Cluj scored the necessary self-confidence for the second leg with a clear victory. Against Botosani home there was a clear 4-1 success. Michael Pereira, Ciprian Deac with a brace and Alexandru Paun scored a 4-0 lead before the visiting side scored the consolation goal in the closing stages.

Despite the defeat in the first leg against Slavia Dan Petrescu has not given up yet. The coach knows it's going to be a tricky endeavor, but can imagine his team doing the miracle again.

All in all, the Romanian champion looks pretty good in terms of personnel. If all goes well then Dan Petrescu can send his strongest formation into the race. But there are still two construction sites, behind which are still two big question marks. Mike Cestor and George Tucudean are still battered. If somehow, they will play from the beginning.

Slavia Prague vs. CFR Cluj Tipp & Prognosis - 28.08.2019
Slavia Prague is undoubtedly the big favorite for the entry into the premier class. The Czech champions have taken nine wins and one draw in ten competitive matches this season. But that's not enough, because Slavia has not even conceded a goal in the last six games. The shape of the Czechs is impressive.
Free soccer tips
However, Cluj does not have to hide. After all, the Romanian champions have conceded only one defeat in 13 competitive matches this season. Therefore, we think it is possible that the team of Dan Petrescu will perform a miracle again after the 0-1 home defeat. However, in the return match between Slavia Prague and Cluj we would tend to put a tip on the progress of the Czechs.
Free soccer predictionsKey Facts - Slavia Prague vs. CFR Cluj tip
Slavia scored nine wins and a draw in the ten competitive matches of the current season.
Prague has not conceded a goal for six games.
Cluj has lost just one of the last 13 competitive games.
Free soccer picks
We are sure that the Romanians will play forward from the first minute. What qualities CFR has on offense, you can ask at Celtic Glasgow. We therefore think that Cluj will meet in Prague, even though Slavia's defensive position was last bombproof.
Free soccer tips
The Czech champions should probably score in front of their own audience. Therefore, after careful consideration, we decided to use betting odds of up to 2.15 for both teams in the match between Slavia Prague and CFR Cluj.

In the Champions League play-offs, Slavia Prague defends a 0-1 lead from the first leg on Wednesday-evening. So the Czechs are in love with roses, but we certainly cannot write off CFR Cluj. After all, the Romanians already knew how to stunt the Scottish top club Celtic.

Slavia Prague:
Slavia Prague is very close to her second ever participation in the main tournament of the Champions League. The Czech national champion was in the first game against CFR Cluj in the lion’s den last week and, thanks to a goal by Lukas Masopust, pulled the ball in after the half hour of play. A draw on Wednesday evening is therefore sufficient for a starting ticket for the European champion ball.
Free soccer picks
Slavia Prague is also in top form again this season. The red and white seized the Czechoslovak Supercup at the expense of Spartak Trnava last week, and with no less than nineteen points from seven rounds of games, they are also competing in the competition. Coach Jindrich Trpisovsky’s crew does not seem to be bothered by the busy schedule, as Bohemians was convincingly put down 4-0 last weekend. The reigning national champion kept almost all of her strongholds aside, so they will all be fit to kick off in the return on Wednesday evening.
Free soccer predictions
CFR Cluj:
CFR Cluj knows what to do. The team of trainer Dan Petrescu, who you may remember from his time at Chelsea, will have to score at least once on Wednesday evening to keep her Champions League dream alive. In the first game, the Romanians had a hard time, although they also had the misfortune that star player Billel Omrani failed to bring his team to the side from the penalty spot in the final phase.
Free soccer picks
With only one win in her last four games in the preliminary rounds of the Champions League, CFR Cluj performs very mixed, but that only win was a spectacular 3-4 on Parkhead against Celtic. If the Romanians manage to reach that level of two weeks ago, then this diptych is definitely not yet decided. Omrani scored two goals in that match and is also Wednesday night, despite his missed penalty of last week, the main trump card of the Romanians.
