Universitatea Cluj SCM Gloria Buzău betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this clash will be a good result for the hosts. Universitatea Cluj are playing in their best form, where they have won most of their games and scored most of their goals, as well as losing just twice. Gloria Buzau, on the other hand, are playing in their worst condition, where they have only won once and conceded more than twice as many goals as they have scored. We expect an open game, dominated by the hosts, who should control possession and create the main goal-scoring situations. Therefore, placing a bet in favor of Universitatea Cluj winning at the end of the ninety minutes seems like a good alternative.
