Romania vs Netherlands Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | UEFA Euro 2024⁠

This game will be the 20th Euro game in the history of the Tricolours.

Euro 2024 Group E winners Romania created history by bringing an end to their 24-year-old exile from the knockout stages of the championship. The Tricolours have been an out-of-syllabus question and have shocked many by topping a tight group against the likes of Belgium, Ukraine and Slovakia. They have already surpassed everyone’s expectations and have nothing to lose, but everything to gain when they face off against the Netherlands.

Ronald Koeman’s Netherlands only have themselves to blame for the kind of campaign they have had so far. The Dutch have hardly kicked a ball in anger and need to level themselves up to keep their chances alive at the tournament. Koeman’s team will want to capitalize on being placed in an easier bracket with not many high-ranked teams around them.

Kick-Off:

Tuesday, July 2, 2024 at 9:30 PM IST

Venue: Allianz Arena, Munich

Form

Romania (in all competitions): D-L-W-D-D

Players to watch 

Răzvan Marin (Romania)

The midfielder has dropped in consistent performances for Romania so far in the tournament. Marin is Romania’s top scorer alongside being the joint second-highest goalscorer at the tournament with two goals in his game. He helped his nation fight back from behind with an equalizer against Slovakia. 

Wout Weghorst (Netherlands)

Wout Weghort is Netherlands’ saviour upfront. He has shown up and taken matters into his own hands time and time again. Be it at the World Cup quarter-final against Argentina or a must-win group-stage clash against Poland, Weghort has always stood up and answered the call. He is one of the most impactful players for his country and will play a crucial role in the upcoming games.
