Netherlands Look to Build on Unbeaten Start
The Netherlands are in strong form, having started their UEFA Nations League campaign unbeaten. A 1-1 draw against Germany was followed by a crucial 2-1 away win over Serbia. This extends a run that has seen them lose just once in their last ten matches.
The Dutch will need to find some options from the bench, since Cody Gakpo, de Jong, Kluivert and van Hecke are all out due to injuries. Even in this scenario, the team is still superior and is the favourite in this match.
Netherlands team’s attack is looking sharp, with Mexx Meerdink already scoring two goals, but they might probably need a good performance from van Bommel and Summerville to fill the gap left from Cody Gakpo’s absence.

Serbia Searching for a Spark
Serbia arrives in poor form, losing all three UEFA Nations League games, including recent matches against Greece and the Netherlands. These results leave them at the bottom of their group with zero points, continuing a worrying trend of defeats.
Their defense has been a significant issue, conceding six goals in three UEFA Nations League matches. Despite these struggles, Serbia has no injured players, giving the manager a full squad for this tough away trip.
Midfielder Andrija Živković and forward Luka Jović have both scored in the competition, providing some attacking hope. However, turning their form around on the road will be a major challenge for the team.

Netherlands vs. Serbia Prediction: Dutch Primed for a Comfortable Victory
The Netherlands enter this clash in excellent form, having recently secured a 2-1 victory over this same Serbian side. Given the Dutch team’s attacking flair and Serbia’s recent defensive struggles, expecting over 2.5 goals in total seems a reasonable prediction.
Serbia’s current run is a major concern, as they are now on a three-game losing streak. The Dutch dominated possession and chances in their last meeting, suggesting they could establish an early advantage and lead at half-time.
With home advantage and a clear difference in momentum, the Netherlands are strong favourites. Therefore, our main betting tip is for the Netherlands to win by a margin of at least two goals, reflecting their superiority.
