As part of the first match of the 1/4 final of the Champions League qualification, the players of Lincoln and CFR Cluj will come face to face. Which of the rivals will be able to win in the face-to-face confrontation?
"Lincoln"
The players of "Lincoln" are the strongest team of their country. However, these guys represent a region, an enclave - Gibraltar. And few people believe that this team is able to go far. And in the main round of the Europa League, apparently, no one is waiting for this team. But still, the team has a certain level of play, and it began to pass one stage of qualification steadily. We were also lucky this time, when we managed to overcome the "Foul"by the sum of two meetings.
"CFR Cluj"
There is nothing surprising in the fact that Cluj is playing in the Champions League. The team is accustomed to the fact that it wins the main title in its championship, which allows it to play confidently in the Champions League, where, by the way, it also reaches the group stage. The Romanian team also participates in the group stage of the Europa League, where it played recently. This time, however, the Black Sea Fleet almost disgraced itself. Having won on their own field against Borac, the guests lost to their opponent in Bosnia, and were able to snatch the victory thanks to a goal in the 118th minute of the game.
Statistics and figures:
- The guests are the favorites of the meeting;
- "Lincoln" has a 9-match streak without defeats;
- "CFR Cluj" lost only once in regular time in 5 previous duels;
- The rivals have not previously crossed paths in face-to-face confrontations.
Forecast
I don't believe that Lincoln will be able to seriously claim success in the match with the Romanian champion. "CFR Cluj" is obliged to draw conclusions from the 2-match confrontation with Borac, and in the first match to get the necessary difference.
