Serbia vs Spain Preview

Serbia

After a lacklustre performance at Euro 2024, Serbia will try to bounce back in the Nations League. However, with Spain, Denmark, and Switzerland in their group, the hosts face slim chances of finishing at the top.

At Euro 2024, Serbia struggled in every match. They opened with a 0-1 loss to England, followed by a last-minute 1-1 draw against Slovenia, and then failed to score in a goalless draw against Denmark, ultimately finishing last in their group.

Serbia’s woes are compounded by the fact that they will be without their main striker, Aleksandar Mitrović. The Al-Hilal forward has had tremendous stats this season, and finding an effective replacement will be difficult for the team. 

Spain

2024 has been a year of victories and achievements for Spain. In nearly every football tournament they played, La Furia Roja emerged as champions. However, their crowning achievement was their Euro 2024 triumph, where they defeated England 2-1 in the final.

Before the start of the tournament, Spain were not the main favourites, but they defied the odds by winning every match and playing fantastic football. Young sensations Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams created numerous chances from the flanks, while Rodri’s commanding presence in midfield made everything tick smoothly.

With increased confidence, Spain are the clear favorites to top their Nations League group. Considering the results of their past matches, Luis de la Fuente will undoubtedly expect nothing less than a win from his side.

Serbia vs Spain Prediction

• Pick: Spain to Win
• Odds: 1.58 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Serbia 1-2 Spain

Spain have been sensational this year. They have won Euro 2024, the Olympics, and the Under U19 championship. The guests are on a nine-match winning streak, including their extra-time triumph against Germany. 

We expect Luis de la Fuentes’ team will continue their formidable stats. Yamal and company are a much stronger side that has the resources to secure a positive result at the Red Star Stadium.

The teams have only met once before, in 2012, when La Furia Roja claimed a 2-0 victory. Despite playing away, our free football prediction suggests that Spain has what it takes to win all three points in what promises to be a tough clash against Serbia.

Serbia vs Spain Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Both Teams to Score
• Odds: 1.95 (22Bet)

Spain enters this match as the clear favourites. It’s important not to underestimate Serbia’s resilience. The hosts have strong European-based players who are capable of troubling Spain’s defense, and the visitors will need to put in a solid effort to secure a win.

Over the past few years, the Serbs have only failed to score at home once, against Norway (0-1 in June 2022). Considering this, and with the support of their home crowd, Dragan Stojković’s men will likely score at least once. Therefore, both teams to score in this encounter seems like a decent football pick for this clash.
