Team Previews, Form, and Standout Players

Neither team will be particularly happy with their performance so far in the Nations League, Switzerland sit fourth in the group, while Serbia sit third.

Switzerland Preview

Switzerland Predicted Line-up - Gregor Kobel; Silvan Widmer, Albian Hajdari, Eray Comert, Ricardo Rodriguez; Remo Freuler, Granit Xhaka; Zeki Amdouni, Fabian Rieder, Michel Aebischer; Breel Embolo

Switzerland, despite their strong squad, have really struggled so far in the Nations League. They’ve amassed just one point with a draw against Denmark.

That being said, they did beat Serbia at the last two World Cup’s, and there’s a lot of history behind this fixture.

Granit Xhaka will be vital, he’s progressed so well in the last few years.

Serbia Preview

Serbia Predicted Line-up - Dorde Petrovic; Strahinja Erakovic, Nikola Milenkovic, Strahinja Pavlovic; Kosta Nedeljkovic, Nemanja Maksimovic, Marko Grujic, Aleksa Terzic; Lazar Samardzic; Dusan Vlahovic, Aleksandar Mitrovic

Serbia also have reason to be disappointed ahead of this fixture, given they could still be relegated from their group.

That being said, they beat Switzerland 2-0 last time they met, so that will provide some respite.

They’re without Sasa Lukic, who’s a seriously underrated aspect of their midfield fluidity.
