To reach the play-off, FCSB and CFR Cluj must pass the preliminary round 3. There, the Romanian champion will face the Kosovarii from Drita, while the Transylvanians will measure their forces with Sporting Braga.
The tour parties, in which the Romanian teams will be hosts, are played on Thursday, while the return is scheduled a week later.
