Serbia v Denmark
📅
Kick Off: Monday 18th November at 19:45
🏆
Competition: UEFA Nations League
Serbia and Denmark face off this Monday evening in a high-stakes clash, with both teams vying for automatic qualification to secure the second quarter-final spot in Group 4.
⭐ Serbia v Denmark Best Bet
Recently neither team has shown much of an ability to produce high-scoring games, making a goal-heavy contest appear unlikely.
Serbia have struggled in front of goal lately, scoring in only three of their last eight matches. Their lack of attacking potency, coupled with a disciplined defensive approach, has contributed to many low-scoring outcomes. Meanwhile, Denmark’s recent matches paint a similar picture; in five of their last seven games, one or both teams failed to find the back of the net.
The historical head-to-head meetings between these sides further reinforce the rationale for this bet. Across their last three encounters, at least one team failed to find the goal, illustrating a recurring pattern of tight, low-scoring affairs.
With both teams favouring a cautious and pragmatic style of play, the likelihood of one or both failing to score seems high and this bet offers solid value.
👕 Serbia v Denmark Predicted XI
🔍 Serbia v Denmark Players To Watch
🔴 Strahinja Pavlovic
Pavlovic leads Serbia in disciplinary offences during the Nations League, reflecting his aggressive approach. After serving a suspension for a red card against Spain, he should return to the lineup, with a history of poor discipline. In just four Nations League appearances, Pavlovic has committed 8 fouls, averaging 2 per game, and he’s already accumulated one yellow card and one red card.
With his physical, no-nonsense defending style and a tendency to engage in risky challenges, he’s a prime candidate for another booking, especially in a high-stakes international match.
⚪ Christian Eriksen
In the Nations League, Eriksen has already contributed a goal and an assist, showcasing his influence in key moments. As Denmark’s primary set-piece taker, covering corners, free kicks, and penalties, he’s well-positioned to create or convert chances, particularly against a Serbia side prone to conceding fouls in dangerous areas.
Eriksen’s attacking contributions extend to his club form as well, where he’s been a standout for Manchester United in the Europa League, tallying 2 goals and 2 assists in just 4 matches. With an average of 2.2 shots per game for Denmark, he’s also a consistent goal threat from open play and set-pieces alike. Given his importance to Denmark’s attacking setup and his recent performances, the odds of 3.3 offer strong potential for a return.

💻 Serbia v Denmark Form and Tactics
Serbia have endured a challenging campaign in the Nations League, finding themselves in a strong group featuring Denmark, Spain, and Switzerland. While it was always going to be a tough assignment, Serbia may have hoped for a better return than the five points they’ve managed from their five matches. Goals have been a particular issue, with only three scored across those fixtures. Their struggles in international competitions are not new—Serbia finished bottom of their group at the European Championship and have managed just one win in their last eight matches across all competitions. This poor run highlights both a lack of attacking flair and significant vulnerability against stronger opponents.
Denmark, while slightly better off, have also experienced a dip in form over the past year. They failed to secure a single victory during their European Championship campaign and, despite a promising start in the Nations League with two wins from their opening two matches, they’ve taken only one point from the subsequent three games. Their form has been inconsistent, and they’ll be eager to rediscover their early momentum. A trip to Serbia offers them a chance to make a statement and re-establish their credentials on the international stage.
Both teams seem to lack offensive sharpness, with cautious tactics and defensive structures likely to dominate their approaches. Denmark may look to control possession and test Serbia’s resilience, while Serbia could adopt a more conservative setup in a bid to snatch a result.
🏁 Serbia v Denmark Ref Watch
- Referee: Felix Zwayer
- This game will be officiated by Felix Zwayer. His match history this year suggests a strong enforcement of the rules as he has averaged 4.92 yellow cards per game across his 14 appearances in all competitions. His firm control of the game was particularly evident in his only Nations League outing this season, where he issued a staggering 11 yellow cards.
- With such a strong propensity for cautioning players, the card markets could be worth keeping an eye on. Zwayer’s officiating style suggests this match could see a high card count, especially if the game becomes a tense, closely contested affair.
