Sepsi vs CFR Cluj, Romanian League Playoff 2nd leg match scheduled for Friday, March 29 at 8:30 p.m. at Sf.Georghe Stadium will be broadcast live on Digi Sport 1, Orange Sport 1 and Prima Sport 1.
Sepsi and CFR Cluj, both defeated in the first round of the playoffs, hope to improve their positions in the rankings and return to the goals set at the start of the 2023-2024 season.
Sepsi is in 6th place with 22 points, six behind Rapid and Universitatea Craiova, the teams occupying the positions of the Conference League, and comes off a loss in the first leg of the playoffs, going 1-2 away from FCSB (has three wins, a draw and a defeat in the last five championship matches played).
The German Bernd Stork-coached side have won eight, drawn six and lost just one home game this season in the Super League, with Marius Stefanescu as their top scorer with 11 goals in the league.
“We were happy, but it’s not enough to qualify for the playoffs. We want to get into the Conference League, we should be in third or fourth place,” said Sepsi boss Laszlo Diosegy.
CFR Cluj is in 4th place with 27 points, eight behind leaders FCSB, and after a setback in the first stage of the playoffs, they are 1-2 at home to Craiova University (they have two wins, a draw and two losses in the last five Super League games).
The team coached by Adrian Mutu has recorded five wins, four draws and six defeats in their away matches in this league, with Philippe Otele as their top scorer with 13 goals in the Super League.
It should be noted that in the regular season, CFR Cluj had the second best offense in the championship with 54 goals scored and the second best defense in the Super League with 29 goals conceded!
CFR Cluj also has a reserve option to enter the European Cups, having passed in the quarter-finals of the Romanian Cup, where they will meet Corvinul away in a single match (the winner of the trophy will go to the Europa League).
“We are not aiming for the title, but as long as there are chances, we have to believe in it. Our goal is the Romanian Cup, but CFR Cluj is going through a year of reconstruction,” said Adrian Mutu.
In the regular season head-to-head matches, the two teams shared victories, each managed to give the advantage on their court, CFR Cluj in the round with a score of 3-0, and Sepsi in return with a score of 2-1.
