Both Teams Already Under Pressure
Germany started the Nations League without a win. A 1-1 draw in Amsterdam against the Netherlands was followed by a surprising 0-1 loss in Augsburg against Greece. The aim is to secure the first victory in the third game under new coach Jürgen Klopp.
The start was even worse for Serbia. The team first lost 1-2 to Greece and then also to the Netherlands. After two defeats, Serbia is at the bottom of the table without a point. A fan boycott during the home game against the Netherlands also caused unrest, with many supporters staying home in protest.

Klopp Relies on Many New Players Against Serbia
For the match against Serbia, Klopp is apparently making significant changes. The coach is focusing on rotation during this international phase and is assembling an almost entirely new lineup. Only six players who participated in the first two matches remain on the team, including Nico Schlotterbeck and Serge Gnabry.

At the same time, up to nine players could make their debut for the senior national team. Potential debutants include Mika Baur, Derry Scherhant, and Felix Keidel. Experienced players like Waldemar Anton, David Raum, and Aleksandar Pavlović are expected to provide leadership in the young squad.
Germany and Serbia with Balanced Record
There have not been many direct encounters between the two national teams. Germany and Serbia have faced each other only three times. Two matches were friendlies, and one took place during a World Cup. The record is balanced: Germany and Serbia each won one match, and one ended in a draw.
