vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Serbia and Netherlands open matchday two of this UEFA Nations League group stage without having played a match in this edition yet, so the group table does not reflect real form. Serbia's last five outings, all friendlies or qualifiers, read a 1-5 away defeat to Mexico, before that a 0-3 away loss to Cape Verde Islands, further back a 2-1 home win over Saudi Arabia, further back still another 0-3 away defeat to Spain and, at the start of the run, a 2-1 home win over Latvia in World Cup qualifying. Netherlands come into this off a 1-1 home draw with Morocco at the World Cup, preceded by a 3-1 away win at Tunisia, further back a 5-1 home win over Sweden, further back still a 2-2 home draw with Japan and, at the start of the run, a 2-1 home friendly win over Uzbekistan. There is no head to head history 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.
