In the last match, they have lost in an away match against Rapid Bucuresti by (1‑0), after in the previous match they have tied (0‑0) an away match against Voluntari.

They have conceded the first goal in 4 of their 8 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around.

Universitatea Cluj is off to a bad start to the season, as they haven't won any game yet, in addition to having conceded more than twice as many goals as they scored. Now, the team continues in search of their first victory at home. Coach Erik Lincar should adopt the usual tactical formation: the 4-2-3-1, always looking for striker Adrian Ionut Balan. Left-back Florinel Mitrea is injured and will be absent for the match.

Confirmed Lineup: Andrei Gorcea, Denis Ispas, Florin Ilie, Marius Briceag, Alexandru Chipciu, Romário Pires, Ioan Filip, Florian Haită, Ovidiu Bic, Ely Fernandes, Adrian Ionuț Bălan.

In 8 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Coach Marius Croituro should adopt the usual tactical formation: the 4-2-3-1, organizing attacks always looking for his striker Andrea Compagno. The coach will have two absences for the match: defender Lorenzo Paramatti and striker Juan Bauza are injured.
