Euro 2008 Pre-match Analysis: Netherlands vs Romania Live Online

European Championship group C, Matchday 3
Teams: Netherlands vs. Romania
Date and Time: Tuesday, June 17, 2008, 20:45 CET
Venue: “De Suisse”, Wankdorf, Bern, Switzerland

Possibility of Qualification

Romania faces the possibility of qualification to the knockout stages of Euro 2008 when they face a Dutch team who are already quarter finalist with wins against world champions Italy and France in their previous games. Romania can book their place in the quarter final pending a victory against a Dutch team that has looked very impressive with emphatic wins in their two group games.

Should Romania qualify for the knockout stages of Euro 2008; France and world champions Italy will find themselves facing elimination from the competition. And with speculation surrounding the game tomorrow, one thing is for sure; the Dutch will not take any prisoners and the Romanians have openly said they are not looking for any favors from the Dutch.

The Dutch, who will rest key first team players, will start the game with a team consisting of mostly players from the bench and could find themselves with the shock of being defeated.

A Look at the teams

Netherlands

With no injury or suspension concerns for Marco Van Basten, the Dutch will have a full strength team at his disposal. He will probably feature most of the players on the bench. However, it is unclear as to whether Robin van Persie and Arjen Robben will make the starting XI or not play at all.

Possible Starting XI (4-5-1): Ed van der Sar – Khalid Boulahrouz (Mario Melchiot), Heitinga, Joris Mathijsen (Fred Bouma), Gio van Bronckhorst (Tim de Cler / Fred Bouma) – Demy de Zeeuw, Ollie Engelaar, Rafael van der Vaart (Ibi Afellay), Dirk Kuyt (Van Persie), Wes Sneijder (Robben) – Huntelaar.

Romania

The versatile defensive midfielder Mirel Rădoi has been ruled out for the rest of the tournament after breaking his nose against Italy, while his Steaua teammate Dorin Goian, who scored the only goal the last time Romania and Holland met, is suspended.

Possible Starting XI (4-5-1): Bogdan Lobonţ – Cosmin Contra, Gabriel Tamaş, Chivu, Răzvan Raţ – Paul Codrea, Florentin Petre, Mutu, Răzvan Cociş, Bănel Nicoliţă – Daniel Niculae.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Netherlands

Klaas-Jan Huntelaar
The highly-rated striker could have his chance to shine in this game after not spending a single minute on the field in the previous two games. Despite his contract with Ajax not expiring before mid-2010, he could complete one of the most high-profile transfers of this summer to almost any major European club he would wish for.

Romania

Adrian Mutu
The brightest star in the current Romanian team and their true leader, the player a whole country is looking up to in hope of European success. Neither a playmaker nor a striker, despite his 140 career strikes, he spent time with seven different clubs. Romania will be looking to him to provide them with the inspiration they need to qualify.

PREDICTION

A game that might come down to the Romanians throwing everything in attack to get the goal that might see them through to the knockout stages; they will be advised to be cautious as the Dutch have been known for their quick and smooth counter attacks. Whoever plays for the Dutch will give it 100% and will want to cement their place in the first team. A competitive game is Dutch will come away with the victory to make it a flawless 3 in a row.

Holland 2-1 Romania
