As part of the first match of the second qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League, Lincoln and CFR Cluj will face off. A confident victory for the guests?
"Lincoln"
We can say that the "Lincoln" overcame the first stage quite easily. Yes, in the first match, "Fola" was able to resist and clung to a draw on its own field - 2:2, but in the second match, "Lincoln" completely owned the initiative and achieved victory without the slightest difficulty, defeating "Fola"with a result of 5-0. Thanks to the draw and the victory, "Lincoln" extended the winless streak, which already counts nine games.
"CFR Cluj"
It seemed that CFR Cluj should confidently pass the first qualifying stage, knocking out Borac Banja Luka, representing Bosnia and Herzegovina. In principle, in the first match, everything worked out like this. CFR Cluj scored two goals in the first half, conceding one before the break. In the second 45-minute, the Romanian club increased the advantage by two goals and the match ended there. But in the return game, Borac Banja Luka was able to create a comeback, winning 2-0, but did not stand up and missed in the 118th minute, losing a total of 3-4.
Statistics and figures:
- "Lincoln" coped with the "Foul" with a score of 7-2 on the sum of two meetings;
- CFR Cluj passed Borac Banja Luka in the first round due to a goal in the 118th minute of the second leg;
- CFR Cluj is a clear favorite of the match.
Forecast
"CFR Cluj" is the favorite, but, as it seems to me, "Lincoln" is quite capable of scoring at its stadium, and that's what I propose to bet on for a pleasant coefficient - 2.12.
