Romania, on the other hand, have been one of the surprises of the tournament. They finished top of Group E to reach the knockout rounds for the first time since Euro 2000.
The Netherlands won the tournament with Ronald Koeman as a player back in 1988, and will be hoping to inspire them at the Euros in Germany. However, they have tinkered with their team selection and do not appear to have a settled formation.
Cody Gakpo is in form though and the Liverpool forward has scored five goals in six group-stage games between the 2022 World Cup and Euro 2024. Follow all the live action from the Allianz Arena in the blog below
Koeman has tinkered with the Netherlands’ line up already this tournament, and Xavi Simons is likely to be the preferred choice in the centre of midfield, after Joey Veerman started the previous match.
Denzel Dumfries could also be another change, after Luthsharel Geertruida received the not ahead of him in the previous match. While Joshua Zirkzee is expected to be available after an illness.
Romania will be without Nicusor Bancu, with the left-back suspended for the game.

The Netherlands scraped through their group as one of the third-best sides and will take on high-flying Romania in the round of 16 at Euro 2024.
It was 36 years ago that the Netherlands were the European Championship winners, and current manager Ronald Koeman was a part of that side, but the team have a long way to go to try and emulate that success.
Romania on the other hand finished top of Group E, reaching the last 16 for the first time since 2000.
The Netherlands have not been the powerhouse that might have been expected at the tournament, losing to high-flying Austria in their final group game, but they will want to put group-stage woes behind them against Romania.
