- Tromso form: Tromso IL have won 5 of their last 10 games (Drawn 2, lost 3) across all competitions.
- Cluj form: CFR 1907 Cluj have won 3 of their last 10 (Drawn 4, lost 3), but have lost their last 2.
Tromso to finish the job at Romssa Arena
Tromso IL come into this game as the betting favorites at 1.79, with CFR 1907 Cluj being the clear underdogs at 4.53 in the early betting. Jørgen Vik's side will hope to extend their 2-game winning streak after a slip against FC Hradec Kralove in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026.
Their overall form is good (W5, D2, L3 from their last 10), while their home record across all competitions this term is W2, D1 and L1. Tromso have been scoring for fun of late, while their average goals scored per home game stands at 2.25 and conceded is 0.75.
Isak Dahlqvist has been Tromso's spark in Europe, taking the lead in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 scoring with 3 goals in 1 match, while Heine Aasen Larsen has been just as ruthless domestically, scoring 5 of his team's last 15 goals across the last 5 matches.
Tactical clash in Norway
Tactical preview
A clash of styles is expected on Thursday, as Tromso will seek to stretch the play and exploit the channels, while Cluj will look to sit compact and punish their hosts on the counter and from set plays.
Antonio Folha's men are coming off a 3-1 league defeat to Rapid Bucuresti and a 5-0 hammering away in the first leg here last week. Their overall record is W3, D4 and L3 from their last 10, but their defensive line hasn't looked secure in recent weeks, while they have been more than capable of hurting teams going forward.
Tromso are clearly the team more likely to finish the business this time around, though this does look like a 'both teams to score – yes' type of game.
Players to watch
- Stefan Drazic is the most likely man to get on the scoresheet for Cluj, notching 3 of his last 10 competitive goals and 3 assists in his last 5 games.
- Alin Razvan Fica has the best scoring record in this competition for Cluj with 1 goal in 3 appearances.
