CFR Cluj and Paksi will face each other in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League 2025/26 qualifiers for a place in the second qualifying round.
The first leg in Hungary was not the most adventurous game of football - a goalless 0-0 draw was the final result, with CFR Cluj the slightly better side over 90 minutes (11 shots on goal against 6 and 54% against 46% possession).
CFR Cluj - Paksi Betting Tips: CFR Cluj to Win
CFR Cluj have qualified for UEFA competition four times in the last six seasons, only missing out on the group stage in the last two years. In the first leg, the Romanian side showed their footballing superiority over Paksi, but it was not enough for a victory. Thursday should be a different story, however. CFR Cluj have had a solid pre-season, losing just one of a possible seven games in all competitions over the last month. More importantly, Cluj have only lost three home games in the entire 2024/25 season. We're betting on a win for CFR Cluj.
