The Cluj-Galatasaray match will create interesting implications for Group H.
With a win, Cluj will lock up third place in the group. Meanwhile a loss for Galatasaray would spell the end of the Turkish team's dreams of the round of 16 at the UCL.
CFR Cluj looked out of sorts on the road against Galatasaray where their offense was poor save for an own goal gifted to them. They allowed a late goal to blow the 1-0 lead and ultimately wound up with just one point and a lost opportunity to separate themselves from the rest of the pack. This team has looked progressively worse throughout the tournament after an impressive 2-0 win over Braga. They currently sit in 6th place in the Romanian League with six wins, four losses, and four draws.
Meanwhile Galatasaray's first place standing in the Turkish league has not transferred over to the UCL. They opened the tournament with an inept 1-0 loss to Man U before losing 2-0 to Braga. They salvaged a point against Cluj after allowing an early own goal, but this team has not looked poised for great things in this tournament. They have a chance to turn it around in a winnable match in Romania.
Prediction: Cluj will be home and ready to take advantage of a big chance to open up some space in the standings. 2-0 Cluj.
