Germany vs Serbia Tips & Predictions – Another Rough Night for Serbia in the UEFA Nations League
Serbia's recent defensive performance has been disappointing, losing their last four matches across all competitions. As a result, Germany is in a strong position to capitalize on Serbia's weaknesses. The expectation is that Germany will release their frustrations by scoring in both halves of Thursday's match. The prevailing recommendation is to back Germany for a high-scoring performance, as Serbia struggles to keep opponents out.

Three Meetings so Far
These nations clashed three times since Serbia became independent country and the score is tied at 1-1.
Germany off to a Poor Start
Germany entered the new UEFA Nations League season with high expectations under Jurgen Klopp, but their results and performances have been quite poor so far.
Die Mannschaft were just a couple of minutes away from securing three points last Thursday in the opening match against the Netherlands, conceding in stoppage time in a 1-1 draw. Felis Nmecha was the scorer, while they ended this clash with 1.45-3.18 xG and 2-10 shots on target.
Germany were tagged massive favorites against Greece last weekend but shockingly lost 1-0 in front of the home crowd (had 1.26-0.77 xG and 76% possession). Kevin Schade and Younes Ebnoutalib missed big chances to score.
Paunovic Under Pressure
Serbia didn't collect a single point from their opening two UNL matches and allegedly coach Zeljko Paunovic offered his resignation which was refused by the Serbian FA.
The Eagles opened their match against Greece in best way possible, Dusan Tadic providing great assist for Andrija Zivkovic who broke the deadlock four minutes in but still lost the encounter 2-1 (conceded in stoppage time).
'They put in more effort and running in the follow up clash against heavy favorites Netherlands, but lost once again 2-1 in Belgrade, Luka Jovic finding the net this time.
Team News & Predicted Lineups
Germany (4-2-3-1) Noah Atubolu; Ridle Baku, Waldemar Anton, Malick Thiaw, David Raum; Vitaly Janelt, Aleksandar Pavlovic; Karim Adeyemi, Tom Bischof, Florian Wirtz; Jonathan Burkardt
Germany have to cope without Kai Havertz after the Arsenal striker withdrew from international duty due to an injury suffered against the Netherlands.

Serbia (4-2-3-1) Vanja Milinkovic-Savic; Aleksa Terzic, Strahinja Pavlovic, Srdjan Babic, Kosta Nedeljkovic; Sasa Lukic, Nemanja Gudelj; Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Aleksandar Stankovic, Andrija Zivkovic; Luka Jovic
Sergej Milinkovic-Savic was reintroduced to the national team under Paunovic but failed to make any difference so far. Luka Jovic is expected to start this time after needing just one minute to score in the previous round after being substituted in.
Verdict
Serbia don't know how to defend and lost their last four games across competitions. I am backing Germany to let their frustrations out and score in both halves on Thursday.
