CFR Cluj – Cluj, the final match of the 20th stage of the Romanian Championship, will take place on Thursday, December 21 at 19:45 at the Dr. Constantin Radulescu Stadium and will be broadcast live on Digi Sport 1, Orange Sport 1 and Prima Sport 1.

CFR Cluj and U Cluj meet in the Cluj-Napoca derby, in the most interesting match of the 21st stage of the Super League, the last one this year, both teams trying to leave a good impression at the end of 2023.

CFR Cluj have 33 points and seem to have lost touch with leaders FCSB, having recorded three draws and two defeats in their last five league matches, with a 1-2 defeat at Sepsi Stadium in the previous round (this is without a win in eight official matches Super League and Romanian Cup).

However, Andrea Mandorlini’s side are the only team in the Championship to remain unbeaten at home, where they have won six and drawn four, and the team’s top scorer is Philippe Otele, who has six Super League successes.

Under these conditions, Andrea Mandorlini is on the verge of being sacked and team boss Ioan Varga seems determined to make a radical decision: “I also can’t believe how bad the team is, I wanted four wins from the last four games of the year, but we went from from bad to worse. The situation is difficult, I do not like what is happening. We are waiting to see what will happen in the last match, and then we will draw the line!”.

Cluj has 29 points and remains on the brink of the playoffs, although they lost in the previous stage, at home, with a score of 0:1 against Ocellul Galats, this is the first defeat in the last five matches of the championship, after three successes and draw

On the other hand, the team coached by Ioan Ovidiu Sabau is, along with Ocellul Galats, one of the two teams that are unbeaten away from home in the current Super League season, from which they returned with five wins and five draws. the top scorer of the team is Dan Nistor, who has nine goals in the championship (he will not be in the match with CFR Cluj due to disqualification).

“Perhaps we have set goals that are too bold than we can realize at the moment. We are not yet such a strong team to hope for the playoffs. We were not convincing enough. We have to raise the level and bring in quality players,” said Ioan Ovidiu Sabeu.

In the match of the 6th round, which took place on August 21, ChFR Cluj won on the field of “U Cluj” with a score of 4:3 after the goals of Otele (45+3), Avuna (56), Ayeti (68). and Yefte (82), respectively, I. Stoyka (10, 38) and Nistor (78p).
