Romania v Netherlands EURO 2024 top picks

Romania v Netherlands EURO 2024 preview

Romania will be looking to continue their impressive run at EURO 2024 when they face the Netherlands in Munich on Wednesday morning (AEST) in the round of 16.

The Romanians qualified for the knockouts after surprisingly topping Group E, finishing ahead of Belgium, Slovakia and Ukraine despite all teams ending up level on four points apiece.

Romania thrashed Ukraine 3-0 in their opening match before falling 2-0 at the hands of Belgium. A 1-1 with Slovakia was enough to secure top spot.

Meanwhile, the Netherlands barely made it out of the ‘group of death’, qualifying as one of the best third-placed teams.

With four points from three games, the Oranje finished third in Group D, a point behind second-placed France and two points behind group winners Austria.

The Dutch began their campaign with a 2-1 win over Poland before registering a goalless draw with France. In their final group match, Ronald Koeman’s side fell 3-2 against Austria.

Should they win this tie, the Netherlands could be set for a quarter-final rematch with Ralf Rangnick’s men, who will take on Turkey later in the evening.

Romania will be without the suspended Nicusor Bancu after the left-back picked up two bookings in the group stage. He will be replaced by either Deian Sorescu or Vasile Mogos.

Meanwhile, the Dutch are at full strength, with coach Koeman’s only problem being that he still hasn’t found his best starting XI.
