 Romania has a glorious opportunity to progress to the quarterfinals of the UEFA EURO 2008 on Tuesday, as they prepare to face the on-form Netherlands at the Stade de Suisse Wankdorf in the final match of Group C, also known as the “Group of Death”. BetOnline.com has Romania +105, Netherlands +200 and the Draw +250 odds.The Romanians gave the defending World Cup champions from Italy everything they could handle and more in a 1-1 draw, and they probably should have won if not for a missed penalty by striker Adrian Mutu, who also scored the game's opening goal in the 55th minute. However, the Romanians let their guard down after scoring and the Italians equalized one minute later. They cannot afford to make many mistakes like that against the Dutch, who will jump on them and capitalize at any moment. The Dutch looked unstoppable once again in a 4-1 thrashing of France, with Dirk Kuyt, Robin Van Persie, Arjen Robben and Wesley Sneijder. What is more, is that all four goals were the product of skillful movement and ball control, and Holland is probably the best-looking team in the tournament so far with destructions over Italy and France, the World Cup finalists. The Netherlands were outshot 17-15, but more of their shots hit the target, and they held the ball for 56% of the time. Romania are 105 odds away favorites in this contest, and that should not be a big surprise as the Netherlands will have the opportunity to rest their key players as they have wrapped up the top spot in Group C. Romania have their fate in their own hands, so take them to secure a spot in the next stage with a tight victory on Tuesday.
