Serbia is set to face Denmark on Monday in an exciting Nations League clash. Fans can find predictions, pre-match stats, and the latest betting odds for the game below.
Serbia
Serbia comes into this match aiming to bounce back after a disappointing 3-0 defeat to Spain in their previous Nations League outing. In that game, Serbia held 33% possession and managed just three attempts on goal, with only one on target. Spain, on the other hand, registered 30 shots, with goals coming from Aymeric Laporte, Álvaro Morata, and Álex Baena.
A notable trend in Serbia’s recent matches has been the lack of goals from both sides. In five of their last six games, both teams have not scored, suggesting defensive battles. However, this pattern may not necessarily continue in their upcoming game against Denmark.
Denmark
Denmark approaches this match following a 2-2 draw against Switzerland in their last Nations League fixture. Denmark managed 39% possession and eight shots, five of which were on target. Gustav Isaksen and Christian Eriksen scored for Denmark, while Switzerland’s goals came from Remo Freuler and Zeki Amdouni.
In recent games, Denmark’s matches have generally seen fewer goals, with an average of 1.83 goals per game in their last six encounters. Of those, Denmark has averaged a goal per match, reflecting a more measured approach to scoring.
Head-to-Head
The last meeting between these two teams was on September 8, 2024, in the Nations League, where Denmark secured a 2-0 victory over Serbia. That match was officiated by Chris Kavanagh.
Team News
Both teams have the advantage of full squads, with no reported injuries. Serbia’s manager Dragan Stojković and Denmark’s Lars Knudsen will have all players available for selection.
Prediction
This matchup appears evenly balanced, with both teams likely to find the back of the net. A draw seems like the most probable outcome, with a 1-1 scoreline being the expected result. Additionally, the game is anticipated to feature under 3.5 goals.
