Serbia vs Greece Prediction, Betting Tips & Booking Code (Sep 24)
Serbia open their 2026/27 Nations League campaign against Greece at Rajko Mitić Stadium on September 24. Both teams enter League A after five winless or inconsistent recent matches.
Serbia Aim to Restore Former Glory
Veljko Paunović has named a 23-man squad for Serbia's first two Nations League matches. Orlovi will be without Dušan Vlahović and Aleksandar Mitrović, their all-time leading goalscorer, but Dušan Tadić returns to the national team after a two-year absence and will combine with Sergej Milinković-Savić to create chances.
Serbia have won two and lost three of their last five matches, scoring 5 goals in total. They have also kept just one clean sheet in their last 10 matches, against Latvia in November 2025.
The Serbian's defensive record remains a concern, with 13 goals conceded across their last five matches. Filip Kostić is naturally a winger but has been used at left-back, while Strahinja Eraković has operated at right-back despite being a natural centre-back.
Serbia predicted lineup vs Greece (4-2-3-1): V. Milinković-Savić; Kostić, Eraković, Babić, Nedeljković; Maksimović, Gudelj; Tadić, S. Milinković-Savić, Živković; Jović.
Greece Rely on a Struggling Attack
Ivan Jovanović leads a Greece side that have failed to win any of their five matches in 2026. The team have scored only 2 goals across those five games, with both coming in the 2-2 draw against Sweden on June 4. Simultaneously, they kept two clean sheets against Hungary and Belarus.
Vangelis Pavlidis has also seen his international scoring form decline, with his last Greece goal coming on September 5, 2025, against Belarus.
Greece predicted lineup vs Serbia (4-2-3-1): Vlachodimos; Vagiannidis, Retsos, Koulierakis, Tsimikas; Kourbelis, Zafeiris; Karetsas, Tzolis, Masouras; Pavlidis.
Serbia vs Greece Prediction
- Safe Tip: Total Under 3.5 Goals
- Odds: 1.22
- Correct score prediction: Serbia 1-0 Greece
- 22Bet Booking Code: J5XCH
Key stats:
- Serbia have scored 5 goals across their last five matches, averaging 1.0 per game.
- Greece have netted only 2 goals in their previous five matches and failed to score in four of them.
- The last two head-to-heads produced only 3 goals combined, with Greece winning 1-0 in 2010 and Serbia winning 2-0 in 2014.
Greece's lack of attacking output is the main reason for expecting a low-scoring game. Pavlidis has gone without an international goal since September 2025, while the team have been unable to score in four of their last five matches.
Serbia have more attacking quality despite Mitrović's and Vlahović's absence, with Luka Jović scoring 4 goals in 311 minutes across all competitions. Orlovi's last five matches have produced 18 total goals, but their own average remains just 1.0 goals scored per game, making a narrow home victory more likely than a high-scoring win.
Serbia vs Greece Prediction, Value Tip
- Value Tip: Serbia to Win and Total Under 2.5 Goals
- Odds: 5.15
- 22Bet Booking Code: 76D2H
Both teams are coming off poor results, with Serbia winning only 2 of their last 5 matches and Greece failing to win any of their previous 5. Orlovi have conceded 13 goals in that period, and Piratiko have scored just twice, making a narrow Serbian victory with fewer than three total goals a logical value angle.
This fixture also favours a controlled approach, with both teams playing again just three days later. Serbia will host the Netherlands on September 27, and Greece will travel to Germany, increasing the importance of managing the tempo rather than turning the opening match into an open contest.
Verdict: Total Under 3.5 Goals (1.22) — Serbia 1-0 Greece
