Romania vs Netherlands Prediction & Betting tips
The penultimate match of the Euro 2024 round of 16 will be played on Tuesday evening at 17:00 at the Allianz Arena stadium in Munich, where Romania will face the Netherlands. The two national teams met quite often in the preliminaries at the beginning of the 2000s, but now the most recent direct confrontation was in 2017 in a friendly match won by the Netherlands with 3-0 in Bucharest, and among the players from that time we can still find them today only Stanciu, Alibec, Nita and Bancu from the Romanian team and Depay, van Dijk, Ake or De Light from the Dutch team. In the history of direct confrontations, Romania won only once against the Netherlands, in a match played in the Euro 2008 preliminaries, when they prevailed 1-0, thanks to the goal scored by defender Dorin Goian. Later, the two national teams also met at the final tournament, Euro 2008, where the Netherlands won 2-0, this being the only confrontation since the final tournaments between the two teams.
Romania:
Romania is one of the pleasant surprises of this Euro 2024 final tournament, managing to win group E, even though all the teams finished with equal points, 4 on each side, this after Romania also won the group in the preliminaries, this although Switzerland was the big favorite of the group. Romania made an excellent debut at Euro 2024, achieving a sensational victory with 3-0 against Ukraine, but this was only the 2nd victory in history at the final European tournaments. After this victory, the defeat with Belgium followed, at the end of a good game played by Romania, and in the last match they ended in a tie with Slovakia, score 1-1 and taking advantage of the wrong step made by Belgium in the match with Ukraine, they finished the group on first place. For Romania, it is the 2nd time that it manages to get out of the groups at the Euro, after in 2000 it was eliminated in the quarter-finals by Italy with 2-0, with the mention that then only 18 teams qualified for the final tournament and after the groups went directly to the quarter finals.
Netherlands:
On the other hand, the Netherlands finished only in 3rd place in group D, although it was the second favorite after France, the national team that in turn finished in 2nd place, the surprise of this group being Austria. The Netherlands started the final tournament hosted by Germany right, managing to beat Poland 2-1 in the first match. Then followed the white draw with France, in a modest match played by both teams that gave the impression that each was satisfied with a draw. The weakest match was made by the Netherlands in the last round when Austria provided the surprise by winning 3-2 and winning the group.
