Holland is already qualified for quarterfinals while Romania needs to win or to draw (depending on the other match result) in order to go through. Interesting is that Romania can also loose at no more than two goals difference providing that France and Italy will draw 0-0.

Netherlands and Romania were in the same qualifying group where Romania managed to get a goaless draw in Rotterdam and to win 1-0 at home so Romania finished top of the group while Holland finished second.

Other thing to mention is that Netherlands will probably rest a few of their main players trying to keep them away from yellow cards and potential injuries. I expect a great football game and probably Romania will win by a small margin. Also a draw might be possible, less probable but still there…

Our tip for Netherlands – Romania is x2

Euro 2008 Italy vs Romania Predictions

In the third match of Group C, Italy will play Romania. The world champions are coming after a painful defeat against the dutch and sit at the bottom of the group so far with 0 points. If they will loose this match then the qualifying chances are next to zero – that’s why I think the italians will try to give their best on the pitch.

On the other hand Romania had a tough match against France and to be honest I was quite impressed with their defence.  Even if they didn’t show much in attack let’s not forget they scored quite a lot of goals in their qualifying campaign so I thinl the defensive tactics against France didn’t get them the chance to shine in atack.

While Italy really needs to win, Romania will be probably happy with a draw – keeping their dream alive. That’s why I believe this is going to be a 1,x,2 match. Just think the italians will be forced to attack and a romanian counteratack might be lethal…

Our tip for Italy – Romania is 1x but also a x2 is very much probable if the romanians can speculate the gaps in the italian defence.

Here we go…Group C, “The Group of Death” – the most interesting group of this tournament and at the same time the most risky and difficult to bet on.

Romania and France will start the show, two latin countries with a pretty similar style of play. France has a lot of top quality individualities while Romania is stronger as a team. We will see if the individual class of the french players will make the difference or who knows…perhaps the omogenity and unity of the romanians.

France comes after a not so brilliant qualifying campaign while Romania did their best to finish top of their group ahead of Netherlands. As I said both of the teams play a pretty similar football, fast and creative – the latin style.

Personally I wouldn’t recommend anyone to place a bet on any of the Group C matches unless he likes adrenaline. All four teams are pretty close and everything will be decided by the matchday form of the players.

Our tip for Romania – France is x2 .

Normally the experience of the french players should be a plus but you’ll never know. Close match, once again – not recommended for betting. Perhaps “under 2,5″ will be the best way to bet.
