Cluj is already eliminated from UEFA Champions League. But many things depend from this match. Cluj is in small crisis, the coach Sorin Cartu was fired after bad results in Champions League and domestic championship. Now Alin Minteuan is in charge for Cluj. He has some problems for this match as Tomas Costa and Gabriel Muresan are injured. Plus Felice Piccolo is suspended. One more player is doubtful - Roberto De Zerbi is back from a leg injury, but still he is not 100% ready. It`s up to the coach Minteuan now. At the end I must say that Cluj players won`t be unmotivated here as every point means big money in UEFA Champions League.
The most important match
This is the most important match for Roma. A point here will mean qualification for the knock out stage. I am sure all the players will give the maximum and somehow try to save the season. I am saying this because Roma is playing bad in Serie A and they are in the middle of the table. For this match coach Claudio Ranieri will be without three important players, all injured. Out of the team are that David Pizarro, Simone Perrotta and John Arne Riise. Still, I am sure that Ranieri will find adequate replacements.
A point is enough for Roma
Roma need one point to secure the second place. They can`t reach the first place as Bayern Munchen have better mutual score (won 2:0 in Munchen, lost 2:3 in Roma). So, I expect a draw here. And I think both coaches will be very satisfied with a draw. It is understandable for Ranieri, a point here will means knock out stage. But I also think the draw will satisfy Cluj coach Minteuan. His team won 2:1 against Universitatea Craiova at Friday and I positive result against Roma may promote him as a permanent solution for Cluj coach. Since Cluj is playing at home, I think they are able to stay unbeaten against Roma.
