Hacken-CFR Cluj, from the Conference League play-off, will be broadcast on TV by first sport and Digi Sport.
CFR Cluj will fight for a place in the single group League against Hacken Swedes. The tour match will be played on Thursday, August 21, from 8:00 pm. The return from Gruia will be played on August 28, from 20:30.
Hacken – CFR Cluj will be live on the first sport and Digi Sport
As in previous tours, Cluj will be able to be seen on two television stations. This is the first sport and Digi Sport, the two channels that also have TV rights for the internal championship.
Dan Petrescu's team is slightly favorite in front of the Swedes. Bookmakers gave Cluj a 1.75 share, smaller than Hacken (2).
The Transylvanians arrived at the Conference League play-off, after they were eliminated by Sporting Braga in the 3rd round of the Europa League. It was 4-1 in general in favor of the Lusitanians. CFR had previously eliminated Lugano (1-0 general) and Paksi (3-0).
I realize that a very difficult match is waiting for us, because they have a very fast, aggressive, very good team. Let's see what players I will find prepared for this match, a very, very important one. For me it is like a final in the championship, even though an equally important European match comes.
We are not good in the championship, I think I haven't been in this position since I am a coach and I feel very bad in this position. I hope the players understand. Let's no longer find apologies.
– Dan Petrescu, coach CFR Cluj.
