CFR 1907 Cluj v Alashkert – A close matchup in Cluj
CFR 1907 Cluj are 1.42 favorites for Thursday's game after the 1-1 draw in the first leg of this UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 playoff and Alashkert are a massive 6.9 for the win, while the Draw at 5.0 looks about right.
CFR 1907 Cluj have been poor overall in recent times with no wins in their last five games, but four draws in that sequence includes the 1-1 result in last week's first leg. CFR 1907 Cluj's UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 form (W1, D3, L0) is a mixed bag and it is difficult to say that they are in a surge. In fact, across all competitions, CFR 1907 Cluj have three wins, five draws and two defeats in their last ten games – hardly a run of form.
Alashkert will surely come into the game with confidence having been so effective away from home in this competition, winning 3 and drawing 1 of their four away matches, scoring 3.75 goals per 90 minutes in the process. Vahe Gevorgyan has his men playing a structured, compact shell and they will sit back, duel hard physically, and sting CFR 1907 Cluj on the counter. The visitors have good momentum in their current run of three wins and two draws in their last five, while keeping their nerve to beat Elimai FC in the penalty shootout away from home in the previous round of this competition.
CFR 1907 Cluj can pin Alashkert back
Tactics
Antonio Folha has made a quick impression on his new CFR 1907 Cluj team, instilling a structured possession-based style of soccer with outlets wide, fast transitions, and aggressive counter-pressing. They should be able to pin Alashkert back at Stadionul Dr. Constantin Radulescu and will try to control the build-up and tempo of the game, while the visitors will surely try and keep it ugly and try to sting their opponents on the break.
Players and betting
While Alashkert are the value selection based on the odds, CFR 1907 Cluj are the more likely of the two to take the win given they have the home advantage and will look to control the ball, but I think the 1-1 result of the first leg points towards a nervy, low-scoring match that could still be going the distance.
- Andres Sfait is CFR 1907 Cluj's spark in this UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 and has one goal in one game, but Daouda Togola is Alashkert's marksman in this campaign with one goal in two matches.
- I will chance Both Teams to Score – NO at 1.87 and Over 2.5 Goals at 1.6.
