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. Our overview of the latest free bets India is regularly updated for your convenience.
