Romania Vs Netherlands Predictions 

• The Panel Tip 1: Draw-Netherlands (Half Time/Full Time) - 3/1 with BetVictor
• The Panel Tip 2: Cody Gakpo to score anytime - 11/8 With 10Bet
• The Panel Tip 3: Jeremie Frimpong over 0.5 shots on target – Evens With Bet365

Romania could be a challenging last-16 opponent for the Netherlands at Euro 2024, though the Dutch are still expected to advance to the quarter-finals.

Ronald Koeman's team were far from convincing in the group stage, with one win, one draw and one loss, and have yet to reach their peak form in Germany. 

However, they are anticipated to be strong enough to overcome a Romanian side that also secured four points in the group stage.

Romania recorded a decisive 3-0 victory over Ukraine in their opening match but were outplayed in a 2-0 loss to Belgium.

A 1-1 draw with Slovakia in their final group game eventually ensured their qualification to the knockout stage.

The Panel have studied the form of both teams ahead of this fascinating clash and have made three predictions using the best odds from UK betting sites.

Romania Vs Netherlands Prediction: Dutch Poised To Pounce

The Netherlands were considered strong contenders to go far in Euro 2024 before the tournament began in Germany with football betting sites.

But despite successfully navigated a challenging group, which included France, Austria, and Poland, they failed to impress, eventually finishing third with four points.

The Dutch showed their potential in their opening match, coming from behind to defeat Poland 2-1, thanks to a deflected goal by Cody Gakpo and a late strike by Wout Weghorst. 

They then secured a crucial point against France with a solid performance.

However, they struggled defensively and were deservedly beaten 3-2 by Austria and now face Romania, who unexpectedly topped Group E, in the first knockout round with a quarter-final place at stake. 

In Group E, all four teams finished with four points, but Edward Lordanescu's team came out on top due to their superior goal-scoring record.

Romania are likely to provide a stern test for the Dutch in Munich, but The Panel thinks that Koeman's squad possesses more overall quality.

Our experts expect them to progress to the final eight, but could well require a strong second-half performance if they are to advance.

The Netherlands have been level at half time in two of their three matches, so it could be late in the game before they assert their dominance.

Romania Vs Netherlands Prediction: Can Cody Do It Again?

Cody Gakpo has been one of the standout players for the Netherlands at Euro 2024, with the Liverpool forward netting goals against both Poland and Austria in the group games. 

His individual contributions have been crucial in advancing his side to the knockout stage despite not impressing as a whole.

The 25-year-old thrives in tournament football, scoring three times for his country in the 2022 World Cup and The Panel believes there is still more to come this time around. 

He will be eager to increase his tally against Romania to remain in contention for the Golden Boot with many of the pre-tournament favourites yet to show their scoring prowess.

Gakpo has been efficient in Germany, scoring twice from just six attempts, with four of those shots being on target. 

The Panel believe that this impressive form can once again inspire Koeman's side as they aim for a spot in the quarter-finals in a game where goals could be few and far between.

The Panel Tip: Cody Gakpo Anytime Goal – 11/8 With 10Bet

Romania Vs Netherlands Prediction: Frimpong Firing On All Cylinders

Jeremie Frimpong had an outstanding club season with Bayer Leverkusen in 2023-24, playing a key role in their league and cup double with 14 goals and 12 assists across all competitions.

Frimpong made a brief appearance off the bench in the final 10 minutes against Poland and then started the crucial second group game versus France.

Despite this good showing, he was left on the bench for the match against Austria, but that could mean he is fresh and raring to go on Tuesday night.

Despite limited playing time, the 23-year-old made a significant impact in his only start of the tournament, recording two shots, one of which was on target, against France.

Frimpong is expected to return to the starting lineup for the Romania match as Koeman looks to field his strongest team. 

The Panel believes the winger will be eager to take his chances and could make a notable impact as the Netherlands look to progress.
