A place in the semi-final of the Romanian cup will be at stake when CFR Cluj and Universitatea face on Thursday evening.

The two sides are very close in the Romanian top flight, with the hosts in second and Universitatea Craiova in third.

CFR Cluj have suffered just one defeat in 2025. The White and Burgundies most recent match was in the Superliga last weekend, when they visited U Cluj. Having lost the reverse fixture, many expected Dan Petrescu's men to struggle, and they did, suffering a 1-0 defeat.

Universitatea Craiova, meanwhile, have suffered three defeats in 2025. However, they will go into Thursday's game full of confidence after beating Rapid Bucuresti 2-1 in the Superliga on Saturday. It was Mirel Rădoi's third win in a row and the third game in a row in which they have scored at least two goals.
