Instead of facing a slightly weaker team in the Round of 16, Romania, the group winners, will face the Netherlands, one of the dark horses for winning this tournament.
Romania News
Romania and Slovakia played to a draw in their matchup, but those who tuned in can attest that both teams fought hard. Although many believe in such a story, there wasn’t a deal made here.
The Romanians practically secured their spot in the eliminations with a 3-0 victory over Ukraine in their opener. It’s fair to say that Romania had some luck on their side in the EURO. Their win over Ukrainians was quite fortuitous, with two long-range goals deciding the event. After that, this team lost to Belgium 2-0 and played 1-1 against the Slovaks.
Netherlands News
An early own goal by Malen against Austria ruined everything for Oranje. It seems that Ronald Koeman’s team couldn’t recover from that and that everything went downhill from that moment, opposite to the Austrians, who had luck on their end in some situations.
Seven of their last eight games featured three or more goals, but there’s no need to explain that. The team has had such a mentality since the 1970s and the total football era. That’s something that every Oranje team applies, with more or less success. Simply, they always attack.
Romania vs. Netherlands Head to Head
Oranje was ruthless against Romania in the previous four games, winning all and scoring 13 times, while on the other side, allowing just once. Their most recent encounter was a friendly in 2017, where the Netherlands won 2-0 on Romanian soil.
Romania vs. Netherlands Betting Tips
Despite finishing first in their group, Romania’s performances were not impressive. The Netherlands had better displays and deserved more than four points, so we believe the Oranje won’t have any problems eliminating the Romanian squad.
