Romania vs Netherlands Betting Odds

Tuesday afternoon’s matchup marks the first meeting between these national sides in seven years. The Dutch rolled to a 3-0 win in that 2017 friendly and have now outscored the Tricolours by a wide 13-1 margin while winning four straight head-to-head including a 2-0 group stage victory at the 2008 Euro. Overall, Netherlands have kept clean sheets in 10 of 13 overall meetings with Romania, whose lone head-to-head victory over the Orange came by a 1-0 score in a 2007 Euro qualifying matchup.

Romania

Romania have enjoyed one of the most successful runs in team history since the start of Euro qualifying. The Tricolour have amassed a respectable 7-5-1 win-draw-loss record over their past 13 non-friendlies with the lone loss over that stretch coming to Belgium by a 3-0 score during the group stage. Apart from their 3-0 rout of Ukraine to open the tournament, goals have come at a premium. Overall, Romania have scored just seven times in seven games across all competitions including their win over Ukraine and have enjoyed just two multi-goal performances in their past eight outings. Razvan Marin has emerged as the top goalscorer at this tournament. The 28-year-old midfielder has potted a pair of goals including the penalty marker that earned the squad a 1-1 draw with Slovakia and the top of the Group E table. However, forward Denis Dragus remains the top Romanian on Tuesday’s anytime goalscorer odds as a lengthy +450 bet.

Netherlands

Netherlands face a tough task in their bid to rewrite a disappointing narrative at this tournament. The Dutch were lucky to advance as the top third-place team at his year’s tournament, extending a decade-long run of disappointment at major tournaments. However, this squad’s ability to dominate on offence should not be underestimated. Netherlands have averaged 2.4 goals per game while compiling a 9-1-3 record in 13 matches across all competitions since the start of Euro qualifying and kept clean sheets eight times over that stretch. However, this team can expect to be facing a Romanian squad that has made significant gains since their last meeting in 2017. Forward Cody Gakpo has emerged as the top scorer at this tournament, potting a pair of goals including the squad’s first goal in their 3-2 loss to Austria. Memphis Depay picked up his lone goal to date in that contest, but leads the way as +130 chalk on the anytime goalscorer odds.
