CFR Cluj of Romania will host Hungary's FC Paksi in the second leg of their Europa League Qualifier on Thursday night. The Ceferistii and the Atomcsapat fought out an entertaining 0-0 draw in the first leg at the Fehervari uti Stadion in Hungary last week. Now, the action switches to the Dr. Constantin Radulescu stadium, where Dan Petrescu's home team will be confident of getting the result they need to progress. What is our prediction for this closely-contested match?
The first leg of this tie may have finished 0-0, but it was an entertaining match, with both sides having plenty of shots in the game, though few were actually on target. However, both teams recent form suggests that this was the exception, rather than the rule, as both have tended to be in amongst the goals in recent times.
CFR Cluj start as the bookmakers' favourites to win the tie. They came into the first leg of this tie on the back of a narrow 2-1 defeat to FCSB in the Romanian SuperCup Final, and after the 0-0 draw in Hungary, they were in action again at the weekend, earning a 2-1 win over Unirea Slobozia in their opening league game of the season.
FC Paksi come into this game unbeaten in eight, but with five draws in that run. They drew 3-3 with Sabah in a friendly ahead of their first leg with CFR Cluj and also played a friendly at the weekend, defeating Ivancsa 4-0 at home.

Our CFR Cluj vs Paksi FC Prediction
Our prediction for the CFR Cluj vs. FC Paksi Europa League Qualifier 2nd Leg is: CFR Cluj to win and Over 2.5 Goals to be scored.
After a tight first leg in Hungary that finished goalless, the second leg of this tie in Romania promises to be more open. FC Paksi have a good away record in Europe over the past few years and CFR Cluj are in very good form, especially at home. Data suggests goals are far more likely in this second leg but that the home side should just about come out on top.
