Each team's starting lineup is based on their previous match in this tournament.

Serbia

The Balkans played their last group stage match away against Switzerland and achieved a satisfactory result, drawing 1-1. As a result, Serbia has accumulated five points, securing at least third place and avoiding direct relegation to League B. Meanwhile, Dragan Stojkovic's side still has a good chance not only to stay in League A but also to reach the tournament playoffs. To do so, they need to defeat Denmark in the upcoming match.

• At least one team failed to score in 5 of Serbia's last 6 Nations League games.
• A maximum of two goals were scored in 5 of Serbia's last 6 matches in this tournament.
• In their last 10 Nations League matches, the Balkans suffered only two defeats (5 wins and 3 draws).

Denmark

The Scandinavians secured home victories over Serbia and Switzerland in the first two rounds (both 2-0). However, they failed to win any subsequent matches, suffering two defeats and drawing once. In their last outing, Denmark hosted Spain, competing for the group lead, but lost 1-2. As a result, the Danes must now defend their second place in Group 4, which would allow them to play in the tournament playoffs. To maintain this position, they need to avoid defeat against Serbia.

Midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and defender Joachim Andersen will miss the match due to yellow card suspensions.

• Exactly two or three goals were scored in 6 of Denmark's last 8 Nations League games.
• In their last 15 matches in this tournament, the Danes have drawn only once (9 wins and 5 losses).
• Both teams scored in 5 of Denmark's last 6 away games in the Nations League.

Serbia vs. Denmark: Match Prediction

In the upcoming match, the opponents will compete not only to retain their place in League A but also for a spot in the playoffs. The Danes have a two-point advantage, but Serbia has the home-field factor. The Balkans will have strong support, as fans in Serbia are known for their ability to energize their players. However, the Danes are skilled at playing not only away but also in major tournaments, so they won't be intimidated by a packed stadium. Predicting the match winner is challenging, so I recommend focusing on the teams' scoring potential.

Serbia has lost only twice in their last 11 home matches in this tournament. Moreover, they scored in 4 of their last 6 home games in the Nations League, failing only against Norway and Spain. The Danes have avoided defeat in 7 of their last 10 away matches in this tournament, scoring in 8 of their last 9 away games in the Nations League. However, they have conceded in each of their last six away games in this tournament.

My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
