Match preview
Following last Thursday’s goals draw at Sakarya Atatürk Stadyumu, it’s winner takes all in Transylvania.
CFR Cluj came into this tie as overwhelming favourites and, having drawn in Adapazarı, this remains the case.
The five-in-a-row Romanian champions have qualified for seven UEFA group stages, including one in each of the last three seasons.
Having been dumped out of the Champions League in the first qualifying round by Pyunik, Dan Petrescu’s team have no margin for error if they’re to keep the streak going.
Shakhtyor Soligorsk meanwhile are back-to-back Belarusian champions, despite the fact their only title beforehand came in 2005.
Can the visitors cause a big shock at Stadionul Dr. Constantin Rădulescu, or will Cluj be too strong?
Whoever gets through this tie will, in all likelihood, face Maribor in the Europa Conference League play-offs.
