FC Universitatea Cluj take on FCV Farul Constanta on Sunday afternoon as both sides look to make a positive start to the new campaign.
The hosts come into their opening league fixture after a frustrating Super Cup defeat against Universitatea Craiova.
Farul Constanta begin the new Romanian SuperLiga season after a difficult pre-season and will need to improve if they are to make a positive start to the campaign.
With both teams still finding rhythm at the start of the season, a competitive contest could be on the cards in Cluj-Napoca.

Universitatea Cluj team overview
FC Universitatea Cluj return to home soil looking to bounce back from a painful week. Cristiano Bergodi’s side suffered Romanian Super Cup disappointment last weekend, losing 5:3 on penalties against Universitatea Craiova after a 1:1 draw.
There was more penalty pain in midweek as the hosts suffered Europa League elimination after a 0:0 draw against Dynamo Kyiv. The Ukrainians edged through with a 4:2 shootout success.
The out-of-form home side have now failed to win any of their last nine games since the end of last season.
A lack of quality in the final third has been the biggest issue for Cluj, with only two goals scored in those nine winless fixtures.
Head coach Cristiano Bergodi is likely to make changes to his side after their midweek European heartache.
Alibek Aliev, Adams Friday and Alin Chintes are among those who could come into the side after making substitute appearances in the midweek defeat against Dynamo Kyiv.
Kosovan winger Meriton Korenica is expected to remain sidelined.

FCV Farul Constanta team overview
Farul Constanta make the trip to Cluj-Napoca after a difficult pre-season campaign which saw them fail to win four successive fixtures before last weekend’s friendly victory against Dinamo Bucuresti.
After back-to-back defeats against Cherno More and Voluntari, Ioan Sabau’s side responded with a much-needed win against Dinamo.
Over a longer period, Farul had failed to win 15 successive matches since March.
Sabau was appointed as Farul’s new head coach in June, replacing Flaviu Stoican after the club narrowly avoided relegation last season.
Head coach Sabau Farul could hand debuts to three summer signings this weekend. Jakub Vojtus, Lucas Pellegrini and Ramalho are among the new arrivals who could feature for Farul this weekend.

Prediction
A close contest should be expected at Cluj Arena.
Both teams have struggled to find much form in 2026, and with both poor in front of goal, a low-scoring outcome seems likely.
I have my stake on under 2.5 goals scored on Sunday.
Three Reasons Why We Expect Under 2.5 Goals
- Universitatea Cluj have seen under 2.5 goals in 10 of their last 13 matches
- Universitatea Cluj have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 3 matches against FCV Farul Constanta
- FCV Farul Constanta have seen under 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 6 matches
