Holland v Romania Odds

The Holland v Romania odds for this Holland Romania betting ‘Group of Death’, match may surprise a few people as they show that the Bookmakers deem if prudent to have Romania as odds on favourites to beat Holland. How can this be possible after Holland have beaten both Italy and France in such emphatic style and are current Tournament favourites? The answer is simple; the ‘Bookies’ believe that in strategic terms Holland would rather see the back of Italy and France, but that will not happen if they beat Romania and there is a positive result in the Italy and France match. As it stands currently, France has qualified as Group winners already after two wins out of two, giving them 6 points. Romania has two draws from two matches, giving them 2 points and France and Italy have 1 point each after their draws with Romania. On paper Holland should make it a hat trick of Group wins in this match against Romania and would win the Group with a maximum 9 points. If that happens, then Romania would finish with 2 points, leaving them extremely vulnerable because any winner in the France Italy match will hoist them above Romania with 4 points, giving them of course the all important 2nd qualifying place. Should Romania win against Holland, they will finish up with 5 points and this would render the France/Italy match academic as neither would be able to overhaul the Romanian’s.

So what is the best bet, should we follow the ‘bookies’ lead and back an unlikely win for Romania or should we back the evidence, that Holland have been far and away the best side in this Group and should blow the Romanians away with the same breathtaking style as they used against France and Italy?
