Euro, Romania and Netherlands

[mariusrec]

Belarus vs. Romania

Romania look very good in this round of qualifications for the Euro.They are on top position for now; with Holland and Bulgaria also in the battle to qualify.At this moment all 3 teams have chances to qualify, but still Romania and Holland are favorites to qualify from this group. Romania will travel to Belarus in hope to get a win that will bring them a step closer to Euro.The Romanians know that it is vital to win points with the underdogs.Bulgaria already lost some points with Albania and it could cost them the qualification. Belarus is a good team, but do not have the experience.I saw their match against Holland and till one point, they managed to play quite well.The few players that are talented, i believe it will not be enough to stop a Romanian side that will be looking for an important win.With players like Marica, Mutu, Chivu or Sergiu Radu the Romania side looks more than capable of taking all 3 points here. My money is already placed on a Romania win.I suggest a medium stake.

Pick: away win
Odds: 1.62 @ SkyBet
Stake: 7/10


Netherlands vs. Bulgaria

If we look at the odds offered by bookmakers for a straight win, we'll see that they rate Netherlands as the favorites.I have to say that i agree with them. Bulgaria has some talented players in the squad, but at the way they played in the last matches, i believe they stand no chance in front of a much better prepared Netherlands team. The home advantage will also be a decisive factor.In the first match, Netherlands was the better team but they just couldn't get the win.The truth is that the best conditions for playing soccer were not provided but in that match. If you look at the results the two teams had so far for the Euro, you could be tempted to take Bulgaria with the handicap, but knowing what the two teams play, and taking in consideration the home advantage i can only place my money on Netherlands.

Pick: AH Netherlands (-1)
Odds: 1.70 @ Betsson
Stake: 8/10
