Group Stage Statistics - How many games will be finished 1:0 or 0:1

Flying Dutchmen, played completely different matches in the group stage 3, but in the knockout stage they got a very favorable and weak opponent. In my opinion, the Romanians did not show anything good in the group stage, as the crushing defeat with super goals against an unmotivated Ukraine does not convince me. The Dutch have many solid and experienced footballers, who I believe will have to stretch and challenge the Dutch against a team of such strength as Romania, who I think have already scored their goals and improved their matches and have played well.

The Romanians look good, even though they don't have top players, except maybe Dragušin, but as a team they function well, both in defense and attack they are dangerous, they won 3-0 against Ukraine, lost 0-2 to Belgium, but didn't deserve such a result, wasted 1-on-1 opportunities and in the last match drew with Slovakia, where both teams had chances to take home points. Netherlands won 2-1 against Peru, tied with France and lost 2-3 to Austria. Their offense and defense are not impressive, leader Memphis does not show the same football as before. The goalkeeper is a weak spot, the defenders are not of a high class. I think Romania will fight for every inch and won't give up easily, especially considering the fact that even the Dutch didn't cover this deficit in the group.

The Romanians are also one of the sensations, they made it to the quarter-finals after 20 years against Peru. The Netherlands, like other top teams, are disappointing so far. They came out of the group as one of the better teams. There is a lot of talent, but the gameplay is disappointing. They managed to deal with the Poles, but they had their hands full, while the Romanians are certainly not weaker than the Poles and the Poles even without Lewandowski had plenty of opportunities to score. It is realistic that the Romanians will have their opportunity for a goal, while the Dutch are likely to have only one goal.

Season 79.86. In the group stage, they had two serious opponents, against whom it was difficult to control the ball. Against the Poles, who in my opinion are a slightly stronger team than the Romanians, they performed 73 times more intensely. The importance of this match is enormous, the game should be cautious, as the same Romanians could be a bit closed in defense, so as usual, many Peruvian positional attacks will be pushed between the defenders.

PSV club defender, excellent at maintaining ball control. I am taking a closer look here as this is a strong point, as the matches against Austrians or French, where there are not many opportunities, are not an indicator. He had 77 interceptions before the match against Poland. In the club season, while playing 90 minutes, he had 64.78 points. After a good season with PSV, this defender seems to have found a solid place in the Ghana national team.

Romania with Belgians and Ukraine raised a total of 14 and 12 corners. The Romanians showed that their main weapon is counter-attack, and knowing that opponents sometimes like to play open football, there could be corners for the Romanians. Netherlands with Poles FT 9, with French FT 9, with Austrians FT 7. The numbers for Netherlands are not very attractive, but I take corners here because of the Romanian playing style, which gathered good averages during preparation.

It would be sad if even among such strong teams we wouldn't see any goals, but as we can see, more happens when the top teams play. The Romanians have already shown that they can be dangerous and score goals. The Dutch have attacking players who are oriented towards both individual play and creating a game. All Romanian players were given an opportunity, and they should have scored more than 2 goals against the same Belgians.

The Dutch have a team composed of top-class players and they look quite good in this tournament. The Romanians have a solid team, but I believe their story will end here, as I don't think they will be able to handle the talent and excellent tactical preparation of the Dutch players. The combination of solid defense and sharp attacking players for the Dutch, in my opinion, is one of the best in this championship. So I believe the Dutch will show their class here and celebrate against Peru.

In the group matches, the attack of these teams only slipped once, and otherwise did not show stable results.
According to everything, the Romanian team should try to defend and look for opportunities for counterattacks. The Dutch, if they manage to safely defeat Peru, will also not try to humiliate the opponent - they will save their leaders for the next stage.

The Dutch are clearly the favorites here, but I like how the Romanians have been playing so far. The Romanians no longer have to rely on putting 10 players behind the goal because they don't have enough talent to defend against teams like the Netherlands. Therefore, in the group stage, they played freely, attacked and didn't worry about defense. The Dutch are completely unclear, they seem to be vulnerable in defense. Austria defeated them with 3 goals... they have enough talent in their offense. I think the Dutch will win, but there will be goals from both sides.
