Serbia v Germany: Klopp’s side under pressure in Nations League clash

Serbia host Germany at Stadion Rajko Mitic in Belgrade on Friday, 14 November 2026, in the fifth round of UEFA Nations League Group A2, with Jurgen Klopp’s side needing a victory to keep their hopes of reaching the quarter-finals alive.

Kick-off is at 19:45 GMT. The match will be shown on L’Equipe in France; Fox Sports and DAZN in the United States and Canada; New World TV and beIN SPORTS in sub-Saharan Africa; and beIN SPORTS and DStv in the Middle East and North Africa.

Germany are third in the group with five points, but their campaign has fallen short of expectations. Their attack has made a quiet start to the tournament and they travel to the Serbian capital knowing that another disappointing result could further complicate their position.

Serbia are bottom of the group after losing all four of their matches. The national team has struggled since missing the last World Cup and is searching for a response after a series of poor results on the international stage.

Previous meetings

Germany hold a narrow advantage in the overall head-to-head record, with two wins to Serbia’s one, while the teams have drawn once.

The most recent meeting came on 1 October 2026 in the Nations League, when Germany won 2-0. The previous fixture between the sides was a 1-1 draw in a friendly on 19 March 2020.

Serbia’s only victory in the recent record came at the 2010 World Cup, when they beat Germany 1-0 on 18 June. Germany won the earlier friendly between the nations, claiming a 2-1 victory on 31 May 2008.

Match outlook

Germany are the stronger side on paper despite an inconsistent group-stage campaign and the disadvantage of playing away from home. Serbia will also be without several key players, making the hosts’ task more difficult as they attempt to end their run of defeats.

The pre-match prediction is a 2-0 win for Germany.

The available betting prices list Serbia at 8.50 to win, a draw at 6.25 and Germany at 1.29.
