Football Bet of the Day: On track for goals with Railwaymen

Top two to catch fire

Universitatea Craiova v CFR Cluj
Monday 03 August, 18:30

Our old pal Tobias got the goals he needed in Sweden yesterday, just not in the right spread. Malmo's 3-0 win at Goteborg nixed the BTTS bet, but he still had a decent week, and can don the mask and have a nice little socially distant wander around Gothenburg.

We're off to Romania to kick off our shift, because there's a game that could shape the title race in Liga I to enjoy between Universitatea Craiova and CFR Cluj.

Cluj, originally a club for railway workers, are having a golden era. Having never won the national title, they received significant investment, and have won five championships in the last 12 years. They are currently top of the championship phase of the season, but their closest challengers Universitatea are in striking distance.

Universitatea have had some very impressive results recently, beating traditional giants FCSB (Steaua Bucharest) 2-1 and winning 3-2 at Cluj. They have scored at least twice in their last six league matches, and it won't therefore surprise you to learn that ten of their last 12 top-flight games have seen an Over 2.5 Goals bet land.

Cluj have scored at least twice in five of their last six matches, and I think Over 2.5 Goals is overpriced at 2.486/4, so that's the way I'm heading.
