CFR Cluj vs Hacken Prediction

CFR Cluj began their European sojourn this term in the Europa League but it is unlikely to extend beyond the week. That is unless The Railwaymen can do what no other side has done in the history of UEFA club competition; overturn a five-goal first leg deficit.

Hacken, for their part, are flying high and are likely to make do with the Conference League having dropped from the Europa League.

Back Hacken to claim a decisive victory once again.

Prediction: CFR 1-3 Hacken
