Tromso are in the driver's seat after 5-0 away win
Tromso IL have been given the title of favourites by the bookies for the second leg of their UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 tie with CFR 1907 Cluj at 1.79, while the Romanians are 4.53.
It's hard to argue with those odds considering Tromso hammered their visitors 5-0 away in the first leg of this two-legged contest. And with a 5-0 lead in hand, you would be hard-pressed to say that it's anything other than Tromso's tie to lose, even if Cluj can get on the scoresheet on Thursday.
This is a classic clash of styles on paper, with the hosts wanting to stretch the pitch, push the wide players forward and run the channels, while Cluj will sit compact, hunt transition moments and look to punish Tromso if they are not careful on the ball.
Tromso boss Jørgen Vik likes to set up in either a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-4-3 system, where the whole team is geared towards getting the ball forward in a quick manner.
Cluj boss Antonio Folha has built his Cluj side on compact structure, direct counters, and set-piece threat. And the problem is, even with the game at Romssa Arena, Norway, it will be difficult for Cluj to match Tromso's tempo and pressure.
Heine Aasen Larsen has been ruthless in front of goal for Tromso this season with 5 of his side's last 15 goals coming from his boot across the last 5 games, while Isak Dahlqvist has been the club's spark in Europe, scoring 3 of their 5 goals in this UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 campaign.
Stefan Drazic has been Cluj's brightest attacking spark with 3 goals and 3 assists in his last 5 matches, while Alin Razvan Fica leads the team's scoring in this competition with 1 in 3 games.
Tromso have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 1 across all competitions at home this season, scoring 2.25 goals and conceding 0.75 per game.
Cluj have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 2 away this term across all competitions, scoring 1 per match, so it seems pretty clear that Over 2.5 goals at 1.7 and Both Teams To Score - Yes at 1.65 are the odds that best fit this fixture.
With the home side the bookies' fancy and already 5-0 up, the best live betting option here is for a Tromso win and both sides to score.
Tromso have won 3 of their last 5 after losing to FC Hradec Kralove in the previous round, so this looks like a good time for them to grab this tie by the scruff of the neck.
Cluj have won 2 of their last 5, drawn 1 and lost 2, with the last 2 defeats being a 5-0 wipeout here and a 3-1 defeat at Rapid Bucuresti in the league, so they have a habit of struggling when they have to chase the game.
