Serbia return home to play the final round of Nations League against Denmark and fight for the place in the qaurter-finals. Both teams enter Dulbocica Stadium on Monday, 18 November. Eagles have the back of a draw against Switzerland while the Red and Whites suffered a defeat to Spain.
Serbia vs Denmark: Match Preview
Serbia have registered only one victory in five rounds of Nations League so far, along with two defeats and two draws. However, the hopes for the knock-out stage are still alive as the Eagles are currently third in the table, having two points difference from Denmark in the second. Serbia travelled to Switzerland previously where an 88th-minute equalizer from Terzic salvaged a point, preserving their chances. Serbia must sharpen their offensive play, with only three goals scored across five matches.
On the contrary, Denmark had a favorable start to campaign with two successive victories against Serbia and Switzerland. However, a three-game winless sequence, two draws and a defeat, has hindered their progress to the next round. Despite the late goal from Isaksen, the Dane were unsuccessful to secure a point against Spain in the last game, losing by 1-2. With two victories and a draw, Denmark are second in the points table and only a single point would be enough to join Spain in the quarter-finals.
Serbia vs Denmark: Head-to-Head Record
Denmark hold a dominant edge in the head-to-head against Serbia with four victories in the five meetings. The Red and Whites have won both home games against their upcoming rivals and will be travelling to Serbia’s home stadium for the first time on Monday.

Serbia vs Denmark: Match Prediction
Although Denmark hold a significant advantage over the H2H record against Serbia, there is still room for improvement in the current performance. Denmark are winless in the two away outings this season in Nations League, conceding three goals while notching two. On the other hand, Serbia kept successive clean sheets in the previous two games at home turf, rattling the net twice. Given these numbers, we anticipate a closely contested game ending in a draw.
