Romania will take on Netherlands in the round of 16 of UEFA Euro 2024 at Allianz Arena.
Romania have secured the top position in Group E. They opened their group stage campaign with a 3-0 win against Ukraine but Belgium handed them a 2-0 defeat in their next match. They played out a 1-1 draw against Slovakia in their third match.
Ronald Koeman's Netherlands finished third in Group D. Although they won their opening match against Poland, they were held to 0-0 draw by France. They will look to bounce back in today's fixture after their 3-2 defeat against Austria.
Netherlands are yet to fire in this tournament. Cody Gakpo and Xavi Simons are the key players of the Dutch side and they have to bring their skills to the fore.
Romania are the underdogs in this match and they are also capable of pulling off an upset but beating the Dutch team will be a tough challenge for them.
Netherlands may win against Romania as they look good on paper and also the talent the players possess.
Head-to-head
Netherlands and Romania have clashed 14 times and the Dutch team has a good record against Romania with 10 wins, whereas Romania has won only 1 match.
