Gameday in Cluj-Napoca for the round 17 between Cluj & Academica.

Cluj will be without Petrila, Tahiri, Fofana & Rodriguez.

Academica on their side is in a big crisis about squad. Ventura & Omoh are suspended. Privulescu, Gardos, Lucian Filip, Achim, Moulin, Kazlauskas & Vanzo are out. 6 players of Academica decided to left the team because they were not paid.

Cluj is ranked 1 with 14 wins & 2 losses for 25 goals scored & 8 goals conceded.

Academica is at the bottom of the table with 4 draws & 12 losses for 12 goals scored & 37 goals conceded.

Cluj is just the best team in Romania, the team who is showing the best football, the richest club and also the team who has the best results.

It's true that they are just coming from a loose against Randers in Europa but they are used to play often and they still have a deep roster to make some change and still being competitive.

They are facing an Academica team who is just the worst team of Romania, a team where 6 players left the team because of money problems, they will be without 8 starters in total, the coach said that he never faced such situation and he doesn't know what line up he can put but for sure this line up won't be competitive.

He also said that the team had to travel a lot with bus since yesterday and that it makes also players tired to get such a long trip.

At home Cluj can't make a small win against such a team, they have good qualities as Paun, Omrania, Bordeianu, Alibec, Sigurjonsson, Mario Camora etc.

They are also coached by Dan Petrescu who is a very good coach.

I expect 4-0 for Cluj.
