Romania vs. Netherlands preview

The match is scheduled for July 2, 2024, at Allianz Arena in Munich, with a kickoff at 12:00 PM EST.

Romania impressed during the group stages, making them a team not to be underestimated despite facing a more experienced opponent. They dominated Ukraine in their first match, using speed and precision—strategies that might be effective against the Dutch.

Although Romania didn't perform as well against Belgium, they had promising moments that could translate into offensive success in this game. Players like Dennis Man, Nicolae Stanciu, and Denis Dragus provide Romania with significant attacking power. The main concern is their defense, which might struggle to contain the Dutch attack.

The Netherlands, on the other hand, boasts offensive talents like Xavi Simons and Cody Gakpo. Despite having Virgil van Dijk in defense, the Dutch have shown vulnerability, conceding goals against Austria in their last group game. This loss, however, placed them in a potentially less challenging part of the draw, possibly working to their advantage.

Romania vs. Netherlands betting picks

As we anticipate an entertaining match, here are three bets to consider, primarily focusing on goal-scoring opportunities:

Both Teams to Score

At +125 with bet365, this bet seems valuable. Romania may not have scored against Belgium, but they created many chances and play an open game, leading to goals at both ends. The Netherlands has offensive prowess but a shaky defense, making a clean sheet unlikely.

Dennis Man Over 0.5 Shots on Target

Dennis Man has been impressive in his attacking role for Romania, often cutting inside and shooting. He averages 2.05 shots per 90 minutes, with 1.53 on target. Given these stats, betting on him to have at least one shot on target is worthwhile.

At +700, betting on Dennis Man to score offers great value. He has been one of Romania's most dangerous players, scoring 11 goals for Parma last season. His tendency to take shots and get into scoring positions makes this bet appealing.
