Denmark vs Serbia

Parken Stadium is the venue as Denmark and Serbia go head-to-head in an exciting UEFA Nations League encounter.

Denmark got their Group A off to a flying start, netting twice beyond the 80th minute to beat Switzerland 2-0 at home and halt an underwhelming four-match winless streak (D3, L1). Two clean sheets across their last three competitive outings can inspire confidence around the Danish camp, albeit a pair of scoring blanks in the same sequence doesn’t look promising. Against this backdrop, they’ve netted precisely two goals in seven of their last nine Nations League fixtures. The road to redemption is still long for Lars Knudsen’s side after their first winless European Championship campaign in 24 years. There’s no better place to embark on that mission than Copenhagen, with Denmark racking up an eye-catching 11 wins across their last 12 home matches (D1).

On the other hand, Serbia’s maiden campaign in League A was off to an encouraging start as Dragan Stojkovic’s side held European champions Spain to a scoreless draw on home turf during the week. It was a decent response to a disappointing Euro 2024 journey, which saw the Eagles fail to make it out of the group stages for a third consecutive major tournament. A 0-0 stalemate against upcoming rivals Denmark in the last group-stage round denied Serbia their first-ever appearance in the knockouts of a top international tournament (World Cup/Euro) as an independent nation, marking the first time they avoided defeat against the Danes in four attempts. However, with talismanic striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, Serbia’s hopes of scoring in Copenhagen look slim, especially as they’ve failed to find the net in three of their last four outings.
