The UEFA Champions League is back in action with another set of qualifiers this week as CFR Cluj take on Young Boys on Tuesday. Both teams have been impressive over the past month and will want to win this game.

CFR Cluj are one of the strongest teams in Romania and have excelled on the domestic front in recent years. The away side can pack a punch on its day and has a point to prove in its qualification campaign.

Young Boys won the Swiss Super League last season by a fairly narrow margin and can be a formidable force on their day. The Swiss giants have experience in Europe and will be intent on reaching the Champions League this year.
