Serbia vs Spain Prediction: 5/9/2024

Despite a slight improvement in form recently, Serbia’s home performance in the top tier has been underwhelming, with only two wins and five losses in their last 12 matches. This lack of consistency has contributed to their current struggles. In contrast, Spain, who are in the hunt for the title, have been strong on the road, securing four wins in their last five away games at this level.

A notable trend in Serbia’s recent home games is the low-scoring nature of these encounters. All of their last 13 home matches in the UEFA Nations League have featured three or fewer goals. Spain has followed a similar pattern in their away games, with their last ten top-flight matches also producing under 3.5 goals.

Clean sheets have been relatively common in Serbia’s home games, with only four of their last 20 matches seeing both teams score. Spain’s away games this season have mirrored this trend, with both teams finding the net in only two out of ten matches. This suggests that a low-scoring game with few goals is likely.

 

Prediction

As Spain visit Serbia’s home ground, they come off a series of draws in recent second-tier matches, having drawn four out of their last five. Serbia, too, has been prone to draws, with four stalemates in their last seven UEFA Nations League games. However, Spain’s stronger form suggests they might edge this encounter.

Prediction: Serbia 0 : 2 Spain.
