Cluj vs. Astra, Romanian Football League

Cluj, a top team in the Romanian League, is currently ranked second with a record of 18 wins, 2 draws, and 7 losses, 5 points behind the top team, FCSB. Cluj's recent form has improved slightly after a three-game losing streak. In their past ten matches, they have won five, drawn one, and lost four. They were eliminated from the Europa League by Lazio, losing 0-1 in two matches. As a result, they have been focusing on the league and won their last away match against Petrolul 5-2, maintaining a good form with two wins and one draw. However, in the second leg of the Europa League against Lazio and the last match against Petrolul, five key players were injured, and one midfielder was suspended for this match.

Astra is a mid-table team in the Romanian League, currently ranked 15th with a record of 5 wins, 9 draws, and 13 losses. Compared to previous seasons, they have slipped significantly this season, similar to Chelsea in the English Premier League. Astra has many talented players, but they have failed to perform well this season, causing their ranking to drop. In their past ten matches, they have won one, drawn five, and lost four, with inconsistent form. Their away record is the worst in the league, but their recent form has improved slightly. They have lost all their games by only one goal. In their last home match, they lost to FCSB by only one goal.

In their previous encounters, Cluj has won five, drawn two, and lost two, with the advantage. In their last five meetings, Cluj won by only one goal in each match. The odds favor Cluj, but with several key players injured, it is uncertain whether they can continue their good form. Although Cluj has the advantage of their form and home advantage, the absence of several key players will undoubtedly weaken their strength. Therefore, it is predicted that Astra will not lose by more than one goal or even secure a draw.
