The Dr. Constantin Radulescu Stadium will host the first leg of the Europa League third qualifying round clash between CFR Cluj and Braga on Thursday evening. The winner of this tie between Ceferistii and Os Arcebispos will face either Lincoln Red Imps or FC Noah in the Playoff round. Check out our match prediction below.
For a second consecutive season, CFR Cluj were forced to settle for second place in the Romanian SuperLiga, finishing nine points behind champions FCSB.
Ceferistii secured a dramatic 1-0 aggregate victory over Lugano in the last round of this competition, scoring the only goal of the tie in extra time at the end of the second leg. They beat Paks 3-0 in round one.
Having prioritised Europa League qualification, the hosts have made an underwhelming start to their domestic season, recording just one win in their first four games.
Meanwhile, Braga are back in Europa League qualifying for a second consecutive season, though they will be hoping for better than last term when they failed to get beyond the League Phase.
The Arsenalists were unconvincing in the last round, as they were held to a goalless draw on the road by Levski and needed an extra-time goal by Fran Navarro to get them through in the second leg.
Despite that, the visitors are massively fancied in this contest, currently one of the shortest-priced favourites to qualify for the Playoff qualifiers in this competition.

Our CFR Cluj vs SC Braga Prediction
While Cluj have been installed as the underdogs in this contest, we are not going to write them off just yet for a few reasons, chief among which is their defensive solidity in this competition so far.
Indeed, the hosts have not conceded a goal yet in these qualifiers, and they have saved their best players for this competition, even at the detriment of their league campaign. Braga were far from convincing in the last round, and we feel that they will struggle to create many clear chances in this one. Our CFR Cluj vs SC Braga prediction is under 2.5.
