vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

The Netherlands also begin League A with no games played in the group. In their last World Cup match they drew 1-1 with Morocco; before that they won 3-1 away to Tunisia and 5-1 over Sweden, and further back they drew 2-2 with Japan, after a 2-1 friendly win over Uzbekistan. Serbia come off a 1-5 friendly defeat away to Mexico; before that they lost 0-3 away to Cape Verde, and further back won 2-1 over Saudi Arabia, after a 0-3 defeat away to Spain. There is no direct meeting on record between the two sides. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one. The data and assessments here are provided for information and statistical purposes.
