Further markets to consider
Beyond the main tip at the top of the page, two more selections stand out for this match-up:

After analysing different betting markets for Sepsi vs CFR Cluj, under 9.5 corners stands out as the best option based on both teams’ playing styles.
We don’t expect a game filled with attacks, which should reduce the number of corners. With this in mind, backing under 9.5 corners looks like a solid bet.
