This is the game, that I think we can witness a surprise and take advantage of the awesome odds. Both teams already met twice two years ago, where Cluj won in Italy with 2:1 ,but lost at home 2 months later with 1:3.

Cluj already achieved a victory in this group against Basel, while Roma lost to Bayern Munich with 2:0. Roma didn’t start well the season in Italy, achieving their first victory on Sunday against Inter. Before that, they had 2 losses and 2 draw game.

Cluj’s captain Cadu says “We are stronger and better than two years ago and now we have the chance to prove that what we achieved in 2008 was no fluke”. Seems like the team is determined to repeat the success on Stadio Olimpico in Rome. They couldn’t ask for a better time, now that Roma is still in a questionable shape, and can be beaten easily.

Although this seems like a three way game, as a bettor, I would go with the highest odds here. I certainly see no point staking my money on the 1.43for Roma. The team is clearly far away from their top results and Cluj has proven to be a hard opponent.

The Betting Verdict?

Cluj to win @ 10 (Register at Betfair.com – get a 25£ Bonus): Although this is a very risky bet, it’s very profitable, and has the probability of coming true as a bet with 3.00 odds. I find the visitors very underestimated, while Roma overestimated and I am sure the game will show that. If you a risk taker, make sure you include this game in your betting slip.
