Romania vs Netherlands EURO 2024 round of 16 preview: Where to watch, kick-off time, possible line-ups

After their rousing comeback win against Poland on Matchday 1, the Netherlands drew 0-0 with France before a 3-2 loss to Austria meant they qualified as one of the four best third-placed sides. "We have to come up with a response as a team for the next match," warned coach Ronald Koeman after the Austria defeat. "That's what's at stake: it could be the final knockout game for us."

The Oranje have won ten of their 14 meetings with Romania, losing just one, but Edward Iordănescu's Group E winners are high on confidence – and through to their first EURO knockout phase since 2000. "It's a historic moment for us," said the Romania coach, whose team have been buzzing since their opening 3-0 defeat of Ukraine. "This new generation is writing its own story," added goalkeeper Florin Niță as the Tricolorii aim to reach the last eight at a major tournament for just the third time.
