Cluj CFR Form & Team News
Cluj noted the departure of Scottish giants Celtic in the third round of the competition thanks to a 5-4 aggregate victory. After being held to a 1-1 draw at home, they won 4-3 in the second leg in Scotland to advance to the playoffs.
The Romans have played all three rounds of the Champions League this season and are unbeaten in their last five matches in the competition. Dan Petrescu's troops were valued at 2.63 for winning but conceded in five of their last six matches in all competitions.
Abdel Omrani has scored three goals in his last two matches in all competitions for Cluj and is scheduled to appear in attack on Tuesday. He must be joined by Mario Rondon, who has scored two goals in the Champions League this season.

CFR Cluj vs Slavia Prague: Predictions
Cluj's fairytale journey does not seem to end. After eliminating three difficult opponents, they are only two matches away from the Champions League Group Stage - which will be their fourth appearance - first since the 2012/13 season.
'Feroviarii' also topped the Romanian League with 4 wins and 2 draws to date. And Petrescu has done wonders with this team since he returned from China.
Slavia Prague are favorites to progress, and on paper they are a better team, but I cannot get past Cluj's positive momentum that they have done which helps them overcome so many obstacles now.
With a W / D / L 2-1-0 home record in Europe and in the League, who says that can't win this one too?
The opportunity for the CFR Cluj Draw-No-Bet market is very good, and that will be my only tip for this game.
