Serbia vs Denmark Preview

• Date: Monday, November 18
• Kick-off Time: 7:45 pm GMT
• Venue: Gradski stadion Dubocica, Serbia

Matchday six of the UEFA Nations League A Group four will include Serbia hosting Denmark at the Gradski Stadion on Monday evening. Denmark occupies the second spot in the group with seven points from four matches while Serbia has earned four points so far. The Serbia vs Denmark fixture is sure to have fireworks and plenty of talking points throughout and after the game.

Serbia will be massively disappointed with recent results and performances. In the last six matches, the national team has managed just a solitary victory to go with three draws and two defeats. Following an underwhelming Euro campaign, Serbia has still not experienced an improvement in its performance levels. Fortunately, the Serbians still have a decent chance of qualifying for the championship playoffs.

Inconsistencies and mixed results have marked the latest matches of Denmark. The nation has accumulated a couple of victories along with two draws and two defeats in the last six games. The Denmark National Team was eliminated in the round of 16 stage at the European championship which was followed by the departure of long-time coach, Kasper Hjulmand. New manager, Brian Riemer is yet to taste triumph on away soil with Denmark’s winless away run stretching to five games.

Key Players to watch in Serbia vs Denmark

Christian Eriksen (Denmark)

The Manchester United midfielder will be an integral part of the Danish game plan against Serbia. While the 32-year-old operates as a defensive midfielder for his club, on the international scene, Eriksen is allowed to move forward and play closer to the goal. The majority of Denmark’s attacks will flow through Christian Eriksen, whose form will have a direct influence on the chances of Denmark for a win. The former Inter Milan man will make his 139ᵗʰ international appearance on Sunday.

Dusan Vlahovic (Serbia)

While many eyes of the football world will be on Aleksandar Mitrovic of Serbia, it is his compatriot Dusan Vlahoic who has been on a better run of form currently. The Juventus man has found life to his game once again under the guidance of Thiago Motta. He is not the fastest or the most agile centre forward but he is at his best when he is supplied with quality in service in the box giving him the opportunity to showcase his finishing abilities.

Serbia vs Denmark Prediction

Denmark will bank on the superior individual quality as well as the better tactical plan on Monday. The head-to-head record also endorses a victory for Denmark against the Serbians.

Predicted Score: Serbia 0-2 Denmark
