Germany seek first Nations League win
Germany’s UEFA Nations League start has been underwhelming, with a 1-1 draw against the Netherlands and a 1-0 home loss to Greece. They are still searching for their first win in the tournament after two matches.
This contrasts with their successful friendly matches earlier in 2026. The squad is in a transitional phase, with nine potential debutants showing a fresh management approach. Notably, Germany boasts a fully fit squad for this encounter.
However, Nmecha is their only goalscorer in the competition so far. The team requires more attacking creativity to secure a crucial win at the Allianz Arena.

Serbia look to bounce back
Serbia enters this match in a tough spot, having lost their initial two UEFA Nations League fixtures. They suffered 2-1 defeats at home against both the Netherlands and Greece, resulting in zero points. This upcoming game marks their first away match in the competition.
Their struggles extend beyond the Nations League, with recent friendlies also highlighting defensive vulnerabilities. The team has conceded twelve goals in their last four international outings. Fortunately, Serbia faces no injury concerns, arriving with a full squad.
Luka Jović and Andrija Živković, who scored Serbia’s only goals in the tournament, will be crucial. Securing a positive result is vital to kickstart their campaign, requiring their key attackers to be clinical.

Germany vs. Serbia Prediction: Hosts to Secure First Win
Germany have the home advantage and will be determined to secure their first win of the tournament. With a refreshed squad, expect them to start strongly, making "Germany to be leading at half-time" an interesting possibility.
Serbia’s defence has been a major issue, conceding frequently in recent matches. This vulnerability could be exploited by a German side eager to prove themselves, so a bet on "Over 2.5 goals in total" is worth considering.
Given Serbia’s poor away form and Germany’s need for a victory in front of their home crowd, the most solid prediction is a home win. Our main betting tip is for Germany to win the match.
