Romania vs Netherlands best bet: Both teams to score (+120)
Romania weren't expected to succeed in Group E, but the reputation of boss Edward Iordanescu coming into the tournament was that he was a fantastic planner. That's proven true so far at this tournament since their eye-catching opener, as Romania have looked at home at the Euros and deserved to finish top of that group. They've recorded Expected Goals tallies of 1.1, 0.9 and 1.2 through their first 3 games at the tournament and they head into this contest having suffered just 2 defeats in their last 18 matches. With the Dutch showing some vulnerabilities, Romania could trouble them in Munich.
The Netherlands have had an unconvincing tournament so far, starting with their poor set piece defending against Poland. That was followed by a 0-0 tie with France where they lost the xG battle and then they shipped 3 goals to Austria in Berlin. Heading into the tournament, the Dutch had a string of big names in defense, but questions over their forward line and the absence of Frenkie De Jong. However, they've created plenty of chances so far, but they've struggled to keep their opponents quiet. We could see goals at both ends in this one and there is value on that wager at plus-money odds.
