Paks vs CFR Cluj Prediction & Betting Tips (10 July)

Like a certain number of teams present in this first qualifying round for the next Europa League, the Paki Football Club obtained its ticket by winning the Hungary Cup. Third in the last local championship, Paki will try for the first time in his history to take part in a European competition. Already the winner of the Hungary Cup last year, Paki had failed the Czechs of the Mlada Models 5-2 Cumul in the barrage for the Europa Conference League. The OTP Bank Liga Championship will not resume its rights until July 26. The CFR Cluj 1907, not to mention a reference from a European point of view is a better known training on an international scale.

Cluj is a team with many references on the old continent like a Champions League campaign in 2012 where the Romanians had beaten Manchester United in Old Trafford 0-1. Unfortunately last year, they failed against the Paphos Cypriots as part of the Dams for the Europa Conference League. La Liga I will resume on July 13 for visitors while Cluj lost the first match of the 2025-26 season in Super Cup against FCSB 2-1 last Saturday. 

The Hungarians of Paki lost their control tower in the midfield in the person of Bénce Otvos. The latter joined the ranks of the reigning champion, the Ferencvaros. Mezei (holder last year) preferred to join the Serbian championship. In this training also we will find the very singular Martin Adam. Remember this robust attacker who was popular during the last euro with the Hungarian selection for which he has no less than 28 selections. He will be aligned at the forefront of the attack.

Small feature of this workforce, 100% of the players are Hungarian. The CFR Cluj is certainly favorite, much better known, but no longer has the same workforce that was able to beat Man United in Europe 10 years ago but it remains very correct. In terms of value it is close to a very high team of the Ligue 2 table for the analogy. During the last rally of June no one was summoned, not even the young nugget Luis Munteanu very productive with the U21 (20 salt - 6 goals). This one, author of 23 goals in 35 games last year in the league, was not on the team during the Super Cup match lost by his own (2-1).
