These two teams haven’t played a huge number of games throughout their history, or if we want to be exact 2 over the last year. CFR Cluj is dominating them, as they have won both times. Currently, they are still far from evenly matched. Chindia Targoviste is in 10th place with 17 points, while CFR Cluj is standing at the top with 31 points. The only difference between them is the fact that CFR Cluj scores a lot more goals while they are being more careful in the defensive part of the field. In their Head-to-Head duels, we usually see somewhere between 2 and 3 goals per game on average. That is their average in their matches in the domestic league, so that comes as a no surprise. CFR Cluj has been listed as a big favorite to win this game, mainly because they have won their previous duels, quite easily. CFR Cluj is having a fantastic time at home this season, as they have 22 points from 8 games so far. On the other side, Chindia Targoviste has 8 points from 8 games on the side, which is a pretty solid result. In the end, CFR Cluj wins to ‘nil’.

The visit of the Hammers is unlikely to improve that record either. They have seen three or more goals in only three of their nine away games this term and have an average of 2.11 goals per game. For this reason, we think backing Under 2.5 Goals is a great choice on Boxing Day.
With that in mind, we're going for a 1-1 draw this Sunday, which has been the outcome in three of the last six encounters. Barca have netted in five of their seven La Liga matches on the road with the same applying to five of Atleti's seven outings at home, so a 1-1 scoreline appeals alongside a main wager on under 2.5 goals.
