If you look back at Cluj’s previous seasonal performance, the home advantage will be decisive.

In this competitive season, the previous year’s champions from Romania have only lost one home game across all competitions. All three home games were won in the Europa League. Accordingly, the “Feroviarri” goes into the home game against Sevilla with a broad chest.

Speaking of a clean slate: CFR Cluj haven’t conceded a single goal in their last ten home games. Lazio was the last team to score in Cluj-Napoca.

Sevilla is going into international business in a catastrophic condition.

➤ Vaclik – Reguilon, Carlos, Gomez, Navas – Banega, Fernando, Vazquez – Ocampos, En-Nesyri, Suso
