Romania – Netherlands Prediction

Reaching the Round of 16 is a great achievement for Romania. But it’s likely to be a maximum of what they can do. They have been played poorly on defence in this tournament. Romania have conceded at least a goal in 17 out of their last 19 UEFA Euro tournaments. In the games against the FIFA top 10 national sides, their statistics are even worse. Romania have conceded at least 2 goals in 5 out of their last 7 European Championship games versus these sides.

The last time the Netherlands reached the UEFA Euro quarter-finals was in 2008. This is high time to do it again, playing against an average team. The Netherlands have scored in 5 out of their last 7 European Championship games.

The Dutch side has also scored at least 2 goals in5 out of the last 7 head-to-head games against Romania. The Netherlands are likely to keep on this way.

Our prediction is Netherlands Over 1.5 at 13/20 .
