The Ion Oblemenco Stadium sets the stage for the 2026 Romanian Super Cup final between CS Universitatea Craiova and Universitatea Cluj on Sunday evening. Stiinta have not lost a match since mid-April, and we are going for them to come out on top in this one as our main prediction.
Craiova clinched the SuperLiga title last season, four points clear of their upcoming opponents. They were in action in midweek, when they beat ML Vitebsk 4-1 in their first Champions League qualifier of the season.
Stiinta played two matches in pre-season and split them, one win and one draw, beating Polissya Zhytommyr 4-3 last weekend after a 1-1 stalemate at home to Azerbaijan outfit Sabah Baku.
The Romanian league champions are now unbeaten in their last 11 matches across all competitions, a period during which they beat this opponent in the Romanian Cup final on penalties.
Meanwhile, a poor end to the season, which included losing to this opponent and drawing against Dinamo Bucuresti in the final two games, forced Club to settle for second place in the league standings.
The Red Caps lost both their pre-season matches against Vojvodina and Nyiregyhaza before playing to a goalless draw away to Dynamo Kyiv in their opening qualifying round of the Europa League.
Cluj are now winless in their last seven matches across all competitions (D3 L4) and failed to score in all but one of those games.

Our CS Universitatea Craiova vs Universitatea Cluj Prediction
After a dismal end to the last season, Cluj endured a very poor pre-season and did little when facing Dynamo Kyiv to suggest a turnaround is expected, having only recorded a single shot on target across the 90.
Craiova, on the other hand, looked mightily impressive in their UCL qualifier against ML Vitebsk. They also beat this opponent twice in the space of a month in May, and we fancy them to lift the cup at the end of this match. Our CS Universitatea Craiova vs Universitatea Cluj prediction is CS Universitatea Craiova wins.
