Both teams to score at CSKA Sofia vs CFR Cluj 10/11 for Thursday’s Europa League contest

Competition: Europa League

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 10/11 @ 888sport

Two sides who will be looking to open this year’s Europa League campaign with three points, CSKA Sofia will host CFR Cluj on Thursday evening.

Starting with the hosts, while CSKA Sofia might have been last seen on Europa League qualifying duties picking up a 3-1 win against Basel, they have struggled to find much stability of late. In their opening nine contests in Bulgaria’s top-flight so far this season, they have recorded three wins, five draws and a single defeat, scoring 14 and conceding 12 in return. Collecting a points tally of 14 and already chasing down a four-point buffer to top spot, CSKA have now managed to win just one of their last four matchups across all competitions and have also played out back-to-back domestic stalemates on home soil. It should also be highlighted, along with failing to record a clean sheet in any of their previous seven appearances on the spin, Thursday’s hosts have seen each of those seven contests end with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, in an almost identical position to Thursday’s hosts, CFR Cluj have struggled to pick up maximum points and have a real reputation for being a draw specialist. In their opening seven matchups in Romania’s top-flight, they have recorded four wins against three stalemates, scoring eight and conceding three in return. Collecting a points tally of 15 and also chasing down a six-point buffer to the top spot, it should be noted however that Cluj are in the midst of a seven-match unbeaten run across all competitions. Along with also enjoying a three-match European away day unbeaten run, we could be in for a lively contest in midweek. With each of their last three matchups across all formats seeing both teams find the net by the final whistle, we’re backing a similar outcome on Thursday evening.
