CFR 1907 Cluj vs Alashkert
📖 The Preview
CFR Cluj go into this second leg with the tie perfectly poised at 1-1 on aggregate, and playing at home in a knockout Conference League tie gives them a real edge here. Their head-to-head record against Alashkert is strong — two wins from three previous meetings — and they're the 57% favourites for a reason. Alashkert will nick a goal, mind you, hence the both-teams-to-score call, but Cluj's home advantage should be enough to push them through 2-1 and over the line on aggregate.
