Petrolul, aiming to regain stability in their gameplay, will have a challenging task ahead as they face a U Cluj side that has started the season strongly both at home and away.
U Cluj: U Cluj has made an impressive start to the 2024/25 Romanian Superliga season. Currently sitting 3rd in the standings with 8 points from 4 matches, they are one of the four teams yet to suffer a defeat. With a goal difference of +3, U Cluj has scored 7 goals and conceded 4. Their recent 3-2 victory over CFR Cluj has boosted their confidence, and they will look to maintain this momentum against Petrolul. Notably, U Cluj has remained unbeaten in their last 3 away games, which includes some strong performances.
Petrolul Ploiești: In contrast, Petrolul has struggled to find consistency this season, securing just one win in their first four matches. Their home form has been particularly concerning, with only one victory in their last six home games across all competitions. Petrolul’s lack of stability makes this a challenging fixture, especially against a U Cluj
