Cluj’s home record and odds favor a narrow win, and low goals match their recent tight games. Odds at 1.40 reflect their strong chances to take this first leg.

Given the cautious approach and recent defensive displays, a clean sheet for Cluj seems plausible. Paks tend to bunker down and struggle to threaten enough to score.

Expect a cautious first half, with Cluj edging it in the second. This scenario plays on the defensive nature of both teams and potential for a late goal advantage.
