CFR Cluj vs Crvena Zvezda Predictions

Cluj can restore some pride

Crvena Zvezda, or Red Star Belgrade, have one foot firmly in the Europa League group stages after a 4-0 thrashing of Romania’s CFR Cluj in the first leg in Serbia.

It would take a monumental effort from Cluj to turn this tie around, but their home form does suggest they can get a result and the first leg wasn’t as one-sided as the scoreline suggests.

Cluj are unbeaten in the last five home games (W4, D1), and that run includes a draw with a strong Young Boys side in Champions League qualifying.   

I like the look of the hosts in the double chance market here, as the Belgrade club have lost both of their previous away fixtures in European qualifying this summer, and a 2-1 home win is my correct score pick.
