Romania - Dinamo vs CFR Cluj

Game is played @ 19:20 CET

Dinamo Bucuresti

Dinamo's coach Ioan Andone got past the upset caused by the loss at Medias(1-2) that made the team get out of the podium fight. The technician wants to bounce back by winning against one of his former teams: CFR Cluj.

Forward Elis Bakaj(12/2) will be on the bench in this game because Andone tends to go with midfielders Torje (25/9) and Alexe (21/5) on the flanks and forwards Danciulescu (25/5) and Ganea (27/8) up front.

Defensive midfielder Djakaridja Kone (25/1) recieved the 4th yellow card this season in the game with Medias and will be suspended for the game with Cluj.

Dinamo lost dramatically the game with Medias, recieving the last goal in extra time. To hope for place 1 and 2 they would have needed a win. With this loss they now have to fight again also for a place in Europa League because Rapid got in front of them in the league table while Gaz Metan is at 2 points beghind them. It is important to get the win in this game to consolidate thei position. After this game they will play with teams that are as relegated so Dinamo should get also the next 6 points.

CFR 1907 Cluj

Coach Alin Minteuan hopes his players will win in front of Dinamo. "Unfortunatley, we made a very bad game with Otelul and we don't have anymore chances to catch a European Cup place. We disapointed the supporters and we hope to win in front of Dinamo to get even with them. I have big problems with the team, but this is not a novelty anymore. Defender Picollo(13/0) can play but I don't know if I will send him from the 1st minute. We have a difficult game but I trust my players will make a good game."

Fans of CFR Cluj whistled at their player after the game with Otelul. Brazilian Rafael Bastos showed obscene signs to them and he will be penalized 3000 Euro by the club. Also, Alin Minteuan is considering not to count on him anymore in the last 4 rounds. "What an awful gesture. It is not possible that a player can be preocupied by the things that happens in the stadium and not those that happen on the field." said coach Minteuan.

Probable team: Minc? - Nuno Diogo, Cadu, Rada, Panin - Peralta, Sare, Muresan, Nicoara - E.Kone, S.Bus; Coach: Alin Minteuan; Injured: Kapetanos, De Zerbi, Edimar, Maftei; Suspended: -; Substitutes: Nuno Claro, Batin, Hora, Kivuvu, Veloso, Piccolo, E.Dica

LAST GAME (CFR 1907 Cluj - Otelul Galati 0-1)
Scored: 0-1 Liviu Antal (81)
CFR Cluj: 32. Minca - 55. Nuno Diogo, 20. Cadu, 24. Rada, 4. Panin (29. Batin '83) - 8. Kivuvu (25. Bus '46) - 28. Kone, 5. Sare, 18. Peralta, 11. Nicoara - 16. Bastos (22. Hora '63). Coach: Alin Minteuan.
Otelul Galati: 12. Grahovac - 3. Rapa, 30. Perendia, 18. Costin, 14. S. Ilie - 29. Giurgiu, 24. Filip - 8. Antal, 15. Ibeh, 6. Iorga (17. Bu? '73) - 27. Pena (19. Punosevac '90+1). Coach: Dorinel Munteanu.
Yellow cards: Rada '22, Bastos '42 - Antal '8

CFR dissapointed again his fans by losing on home turf 1-0 with Otelul. They played well with Vaslui but in this last game they didn't show determination. They got out of a European Cup spot and now there is only one objective left for them. To not let their eternal rival U Cluj to get in front of them in the league table.

This is a game where Dinamo needs to win to consolidate their place. But, have in mind. They still got the chance to get into Europa League by winning the cup. So, this could be a tricky game to bet on. I will skip this one although Dinamo could win in front of their fans against a team that has nothing to play for anymore.
