The qualification of the new season of the conference league is coming to an end, so CFR Cluj and Maribor will meet in one of the matches. The match will take place on August 18 at 21:15 Moscow time. Our portal has prepared a forecast for you on the outcome of this confrontation.
"Maribor"
Last season, Maribor performed powerfully and was able to win the championship title. In the Champions League, the team managed to overcome the first round, after which it lost to Sheriff with a bang. Now the team is completely giving out a disastrous stretch of defeats, which has already cost the Slovenes a place in the Europa League, from where they were thrown out by HIC. In their last match, Maribor lost to Domzhale with a score of 3:2.
"CFR Cluj"
Already familiar last season, CFR Cluj won the Romanian Championship, beating Steaua by only 1 point. However, the team clearly failed the start of the new season, crashed out of the Champions League, sensationally lost in a penalty shootout to Pyunik, lost the Super Cup to Sepsi. In the Conference League, the Romanians passed two weak opponents, and in the last championship game they lost at home to Botosani with a score of 0:1.
Statistics and figures
- The teams have not previously crossed paths in official matches.
- Maribor has a bad streak of six defeats in a row.
- CFR Cluj have lost just once in their last five meetings.
Forecast
The guests, who have a more experienced and strong squad, look like a small favorite in this confrontation, even though Maribor will play on its field. The hosts are in poor playing form right now, giving out a series of defeats. I think this game will end in a draw.
