FCSB host CFR Cluj at Arena Nationala, Bucureşti on Saturday, Jan 16 at 6:00 PM in the Liga 1.

FCSB come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 4L in last 5). CFR Cluj, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 1D 1L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. FCSB head into this on the back of a defeat, while CFR Cluj arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — FCSB and CFR Cluj have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (3W–4D–3W). Their last encounter ended in FCSB won 0–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: CFR Cluj's quality should tell even on the road. FCSB will push, but the visitors have too much class. CFR Cluj to win.
