Romania’s title holders CFR Cluj
this past Thursday sustained a nil-2 away defeat by Celtic Glasgow, in a
fixture counting towards the second round of Group E in Europa League. Scoring
for Celtic were the French Odsonne Edouard, on 20 minutes and the Norwegian Mohamed
Elyounoussi, in minute 59. Celtic thus took their revenge since in August this
year, they were eliminated by CFR Cluj in the Champions League preliminaries,
when CFR grabbed a precious 4-3 win on Celtic Park. Also in Group E, Lazio Rome
secured a 2-1 home win against French opponents Rennes. Celtic are at the top
of the table in group E, with 4 points, followed by Lazio Rome and CFR Cluj,
with 3 points each. However, Lazio has a better goal average. Rennes are 4th-placed
with one point. In the third round on October 24th, Lazio travel to
Glasgow, while CFR travel to Rennes.

This coming weekend will see matches
being played, counting towards Romanian League One’s 12th round. On Friday, FC Botosani take on Sepsi Sfintu
Gheorghe, while Universitatea Craiova face Poli Iasi. Gaz Metan Medias are
pitted against Academica Clinceni on Saturday. Also on Saturday FCSB face their
all-time rivals, Dinamo Bucharest. FCSB and Dinamo are quite close in the lower
part of the current rankings. FCSB are 9th-placed, while Dinamo are
in the 10th-position. In the wake of an unassuming start in the
ongoing season, FCSB and Dinamo braced up and won three of the five fixtures
they have played recently. The National Arena in Bucharest plays host to the
match pitting FCSB against Dinamo. On Sunday, another interesting 12th-round
game is the one pitting title holders CFR against Viitorul Constanta. The match
will be hosted by the south-eastern Romanian town of Ovidiu. On Monday, FC
Voluntari face Chindia Targoviste, while Astra Giurgiu take on FC Hermannstadt
Sibiu.
