ChFR Cluj lost on the field of “Sivasspor” with a score of 3:0, but in the fight for the “European spring” it still depends only on them. Below we present the scenarios in which the Romanian champion will reach the play-offs for the eighth Conference League (they can no longer win Group G).

Scenarios according to which ChFR Cluj qualifies for the Spring League of Conferences

Thus, CFR Cluj is sure of qualification if they beat FC Balkani in the final stage. If Slavia Praha had beaten Sivasspor, the three teams would have been level on 10 points each, but the Transylvanians would have finished second thanks to the 6 points gained in the double with the Czechs. Sivasspor would be the first (7 points), and Slavia would leave the competition (4 points).

If CFR Yugoslavia does not win the match against FC Balkani, the Romanian champions should get at least the same result as Slavia did against Sivasspor. If both matches end in a draw, the Transylvanians will advance thanks to victories won in direct matches with the Czech national team.

In the event that CFR Cluj and Slavia Prague lose their matches in the last stage, a three-way ranking will be achieved again, but this time with FC Balkani. Dan Petrescu’s team is still in second place in the group, having 7 points in the matches against these opponents. Slavia will take the third place (6 points), and the team from Kosovo will take the last place (4 points).

Know:

  • Sivasspor has already qualified, it is not yet known from which position. The Turks can lose first place only if they lose to Slavia Prague, and CFR Cluj does not win the match against Balkan.
  • Should he finally qualify, CFR Cluj will face the third-placed team in the Europa League groups in the eighth-place play-off.
