Serbia vs Germany Preview

Serbia have lost their last five games, while Germany have conceded only three goals in theirs. That is the backdrop to Friday night’s Nations League meeting at the Rajko Mitic Stadium. Serbia sit bottom of Group 2 without a point, and Germany are third on five. The two sides met six weeks ago, when Germany won 2-0 at home. Kick-off is at 7:45pm GMT.

Serbia have lost five in a row, scoring four and conceding 13. The latest was a 2-1 defeat in the Netherlands in October, three days after a 2-0 loss in Germany. Before that, they lost 2-1 at home to both the Netherlands and Greece in the Nations League, while the oldest result is a 5-1 friendly defeat in Mexico in June. Serbia scored in four of the five games but did not keep a clean sheet in any of them.

Germany have one win, two draws and two defeats from their last five, scoring four and conceding three. The most recent was a goalless draw in Greece in October, three days after a 2-0 home win over Serbia. Before those, they lost 1-0 at home to Greece and drew 1-1 in the Netherlands. The oldest result is their World Cup exit against Paraguay in June, a 1-1 draw that Germany lost 4-3 on penalties. Germany kept clean sheets in two of the five games.

Germany have won two of the four meetings in the record, with Serbia winning one and one drawn. The most recent was Germany’s 2-0 home win in October, and before that the sides drew 1-1 in Germany in a 2019 friendly. Serbia’s only win came 1-0 at the World Cup in June 2010, and Germany won 2-1 in a 2008 friendly. All four meetings in the sample were listed as German home games, so Friday’s game at the Rajko Mitic Stadium will be the first in the record staged in Serbia.

Germany sit third in Group 2 on five points, with Serbia bottom without a point. A Germany win would take them to eight points, level with the Netherlands and Greece on current standings.

In Serbia, the match is live on RTS 1 and Arena 1 Premium, with streaming on Arena Cloud, while German viewers can watch on RTL or stream through RTL+. In the USA, it’s on Fubo Sports Network, with fuboTV, ViX and Tubi among the streaming options.
