Romania (1-1-1, 4 PTS, +1 GD) has every right to feel aggrieved with its round of 16 matchup after eking out top spot in a difficult Group E. Edward Iordănescu’s team were drawn against world #7 Netherlands, who wound up third in Group D with a 1-1-1 record and even goal-differential.

The Romania vs Netherlands odds heavily favor the nominal “away team” advancing from Tuesday’s match at Allianz Arena in Munich (12:00 pm ET).

Romania vs Netherlands Odds

Team Moneyline Total To Advance
Romania +700 Over 2.5 (-118) +430
Netherlands -250 Under 2.5 (-104) -620

Netherland’s is priced at -250 to win in regular time and -620 to advance to the quarterfinals. Romania is a +700 longshot to win in 90 minutes and +430 to advance. A full-time draw is sitting at +360.

The over/under of 2.5 goals is slightly shaded to the over at -118 with the under at -104.

Netherlands enters the round of 16 as the +1200 sixth-favorite to win the tournament in the Euro 2024 odds. Romania is a +15000 longshot.

Netherlands’ only previous Euro triumph also game on German soil in 1988, propelled by the legendary Marco Van Basten.

Advancing on Tuesday would equal Romania’s best-ever showing at a Euro, when they lost to eventual finalist Italy in the quarters.

The Netherlands put on a confusing display in the group stage. They controlled the proceedings against Poland, and emerged with a 2-1 comeback victory while retaining 65% of possession. That was followed by a nil-nil draw with France when the would-be winner from Xavi Simons was ruled out for offside. With a good chance to win the group on the final matchday, they conceded three goals in a stunning 3-2 setback to Austria.

The Austria game marked the first time in 14 games that Netherlands conceded three times in one game. Their backline of Virgil van Dijk, Stefan de Vrij, Nathan Ake, and Denzel Dumfries is widely lauded as arguably the best in the world at the moment.

They kept three clean sheets in four friendlies in the build-up to the Euro, blanking Scotland, Canada, and Iceland all by identical 4-0 scorelines.

Netherlands’ goals in the group stage came from Cody Gakpo (2), Memphis Depay, and substitute Wout Weghorst.

They were forced to leave Atalanta midfielder Marten De Roon off their Euro squad due to a hamstring injury.

Romania had a horrendous run in the pre-tournament friendlies, drawing 0-0 at home as heavy favorites against both Liechtenstein and Bulgaria. But in competitive fixtures, the Tricolorii have been nothing short of exceptional over the last 18 months.

Romania won Group I in qualifying (6-4-0, 22 PTS, +11 GD), well ahead of Switzerland (17 PTS) and Israel (15 PTS). Their setback to Belgium in the second group-stage game was their first loss in a competitive match since June 14, 2022, a run of 13 straight games unbeaten.

Romani’s group-stage goals came from Razvan Marin (two), Nicolae Stanciu, and Denis Dragus.

Left back Nicușor Bancu is suspended for the round of 16 after picking up another yellow card against Slovakia last time out.

Romania vs Netherlands Predictions & Picks

I haven’t been impressed with the Netherlands so far. The talent is obvious at times, and Van Dijk and De Vrij represent arguably the most intimidating center back combination in the tournament, if not the world. But the midfield play has left a lot to be desired, and it’s an area where coach Ronald Koeman doesn’t have his full complement of players.

Romania wasn’t overwhelmed by a very good Swiss team in qualifying, and won’t be overmatched against the Dutch on Tuesday.
