🔍 Spain v Serbia Players to Watch
🔴 Lamine Yamal
Yamal has also been incredibly influential in the attacking third, and has registered at least one shot on target in every Nations League game so far. He had four attempts last time out against Serbia, and tested the goalkeeper on one occasion. Yamal also managed a shot on target in five out of six games at Euro 2024, to highlight his influence.
⚪ Veljko Birmancevic
Veljko Birmancevic has been a magnet for drawing fouls this season, with eight fouls drawn from just three Nations League fixtures. In that time, he has played at least 80 minutes in all three games, drawing at least two fouls against each of Switzerland, Denmark and Spain. In the latter match, he was fouled three times
🔴 Martin Zubimendi
With Rodri sidelined, Martin Zubimendi remains a target in the heart of midfield, as he has made at least two fouls in all five starts for the national side. The Real Sociedad man made two fouls when he faced Serbia in the reverse fixture, and recently committed two fouls against Denmark, as he is tasked with pressing strongly aiming to sustain pressure.

💻 Spain v Serbia Form and Tactics
After a goalless draw in Belgrade to begin their Nations League title defence, Spain has responded strongly, with back-to-back wins against Switzerland and Denmark.
Most recently they played out a 1-0 victory in Murcia, thanks to a late goal from Zubimendi. They were totally dominant in that game, with 25 shots in total, and five big chances. In return, they conceded just three shots. Kasper Schmeichel had a tough task in the Denmark net, making five saves.
Serbia were buoyed by the return of their captain and talisman Aleksandar Mitrovic in the previous game against Switzerland, and his influence was immediately felt. He got on the scoresheet, scoring the second goal for Serbia with a fantastic curled effort from the edge of the box. That was the first victory for Serbia in the Nations League so far, meaning they now sit third with four points.
