UEFA Nations League

odds 1.73

Austria has proven exceptionally strong on the road this year and have not lost any of their last 5 matches while Serbia has not proven a difficult opponent to beat at home and has only managed 2 wins out of the last 5 home matches played. The two nations have already faced off 6 times with Serbia winning 3 and loosing 2 while 1 match ended in a 1-1 draw.

Serbia

Serbia’s qualification to League A came as a shock to almost everybody. After succumbing in their Euro 2024 campaign, Stojković’s side was a favorite to lose in the group stage which ultimately placed them below Switzerland. However, in a surprising turn of events, they ended up placing third and qualifying for the playoffs.

Their success is attributed to an incredibly pragmatic style of football which earned them a commendable 0-0 draw against Spain. This, alongside subtle dominant home form, is what allowed Serbia to secure the third place in the league. Their home matches included a victory over Switzerland (2-0) and a draw against Denmark (0-0).

After serving suspensions, four crucial Serbia players will be rejoining the squad: Andrija Živković, Aleksej Terzić, Strahinja Pavlović, and Nikola Milenković. Was this write-up solid? Want Bundesliga tips daily? Explore our football bundesliga prediction hub and get German league insights.

Austria

Austria was originally assumed to be leading a two horse race for first place in their League B group. This perception changed the instant Norway decided to unleash their full potential, knocking Ralf Rangnick’s Austria down to second place, trailing Norway by two points. The draw with Slovenia (1-1) in the final round cost Austria dearly.

Austrians completely dominated possession during their first game against Serbia, but careless chances and one illogical goal sunk Austria’s efforts. Consequently, they now face a much tougher path to qualifying for League A.

The only one of note is Konrad Laimer, who returns from suspension.

Prediction

Our expert pick: Serbia’s home defending ability is quite exceptional which is why I am predicting very few goals will be scored in total for the match, under 2.5.
