Why Germany are favourites
Bookmakers strongly favour the hosts: Germany to win is quoted at 1.25, the draw at 6.00 and Serbia to win at 11.00.
• Germany have been more active in attack than their opponents, attempting more shots in 8 of their last 10 home UEFA Nations League matches.
• Serbia have lacked attacking threat: they have failed to record more shots on target than their opponents in 9 of their last 10 matches in the competition.
Form and Line-up Germany
Jürgen Klopp has had a difficult start as Germany manager: the team have yet to win. After drawing 1:1 with the Netherlands, Germany lost 0:1 at home to Greece.
Despite their results, Germany have consistently forced opponents back towards their own goal: their opponents' goal-kick figure of 13.5 ranks Germany third among the 54 UEFA Nations League teams.
- Germany have recorded more than 4.5 shots on target in 9 of their last 10 home UEFA Nations League matches.
- Germany have committed fewer than 13.5 fouls in 9 of their last 10 home UEFA Nations League matches.
- Germany's opponents have taken fewer than 4.5 corners in 8 of Germany's last 10 home UEFA Nations League matches.
Probable line-up (4-2-3-1): Alexander Nubel, Nathaniel Brown, Josha Vagnoman, Jonathan Tah, Yann Bisseck, Joshua Kimmich, Felix Nmecha, Kevin Schade, Bambasé Conté, Karim Adeyemi, Younes Ebnoutalib
Form and Line-up Serbia
Serbia began the campaign with two home defeats by the same 1:2 scoreline, first against Greece and then against the Netherlands.
Serbia's main problem remains the vulnerability of their own penalty area: their opponents' expected goals figure of 2.66 xG puts them third from bottom for defensive efficiency among the competition's 54 teams.
- All of Serbia's last 10 UEFA Nations League matches have featured fewer than 3.5 goals.
- Serbia have scored fewer than 1.5 goals in 8 of their last 10 UEFA Nations League matches.
- Serbia have taken fewer than 3.5 corners in 9 of their last 10 UEFA Nations League matches.
Probable line-up (5-4-1): Vanja Milinković-Savić, Kosta Nedeljkovic, Nemanja Gudelj, Srđan Babić, Strahinja Pavlović, Aleksa Terzić, Andrija Živković, Aleksandar Stanković, Saša Lukić, Sergej Milinković-Savić, Dejan Joveljić
