Match Stats

Spain has had a successful year, highlighted by their European Championship triumph, defeating England 2-1 in the final. However, their start in the Nations League hasn't been as smooth. In the first round, "La Roja" couldn’t break through Serbia’s defense, resulting in a goalless draw despite dominating possession and taking 22 shots.

In the second round, Spain redeemed themselves with a commanding 4-1 victory over Switzerland, even after being reduced to 10 men in the 20th minute. They already led 2-0 by then, and the final score reflected their overall dominance. Last weekend, Spain secured a narrow 1-0 home victory against Denmark, with the winning goal coming in the 79th minute.

Unlike their opponents, Serbia underperformed at the European Championship, failing to advance from the group stage. The low point for their fans was a disappointing draw against Slovenia. In this new edition of the Nations League, Serbia began with a 0-0 home draw against Spain.

However, they couldn’t stop Denmark in the second round, losing 0-2 away. Over the weekend, Serbia recorded a crucial 2-0 home win over Switzerland. With Denmark looking strong and Spain as the clear favorites, Serbia and Switzerland will be battling for survival in the top division.

Prediction: 2-1
