Introduction

Romania will be making their sixth appearance at the Euros after being quarter-finalists in 2000, famously knocking out England in the group stage.

Although they don’t have some of the star quality of their teams in the mid to late 90s, the Tricolori are being talked about as a dark horse that could potentially do some damage in this tournament.

In a group featuring Belgium, Slovakia, and Ukraine, they have a decent chance of qualifying and progressing to the knockout phase.

🔮 Euro 2024 predictions

Tournament Prediction: Quarter-Finals

You can back Romania to be eliminated in the Quarter-Finals @ 7.0 on Paddy Power.

Romania can be optimistic about their chances of progressing through this group. They face an ageing Belgium side, alongside Ukraine and Slovakia, who are both good sides but still evenly matched with the Romanians.

If we were to predict the likely group finishes elsewhere, Romania, if they were to finish second in the group would face a round of 16 match against the Netherlands, Austria or Poland. If they were to overcome that challenge, a quarter final match up against Portugal would be the most likely outcome, and would probably spell the end of their Euro 2024 campaign.

Based on xG output and goals per game, where he is top of both rankings, Valentin Mihaila is a surprisingly valuable pick to lead the scoring charts for his nation at 15.0 with Sky Bet, and we expect this price to shorten closer to the tournament.

Romania Euro 2024 Qualifying Data

📖 How they qualified

Romania’s qualifying campaign was hugely impressive. Unbeaten in 10 matches and finishing above Switzerland to take the top spot in the group, they come to Germany in great competitive form.

Conceding just five goals along the way, this was the second-lowest of all the top qualifiers by goals per game.

Built on the foundations of an excellent defence, Edward Iordanescu's side will no doubt head to Germany looking to frustrate teams rather than outscore them, having only conceded an impressive five goals throughout the entirety of qualification.

👕 Players to watch

Nicolae Stanciu is a wise old head in the Romanian dressing room, with 68 caps and 14 goals for the national side. He has also been in good form in the Saudi Pro League with six goals and seven assists in 28 games. His versatility in being able to play both centrally and on the right will mean he can slot in around Romania’s other midfield talents.

Radu Drăgușin moved from Genoa to Tottenham for €25m in January and is slowly being introduced to the Spurs side. He’ll be relatively fresh coming into the tournament and will be relishing the chance to be regularly starting games once again.

His no-nonsense throwback style to the days of tough tackling central defenders will be refreshing to watch, and he’ll be crucial to Romania’s hopes of continuing their fine defensive work in qualifying.
