Denmark vs Serbia prediction: EUROPE: UEFA Nations League – League A betting tips on match 2024-09-07 16:00.
[p]Denmark’s managerial change prompted immediate success as caretaker coach Lars Knudsen won his debut assignment 2-0 against nine-man Switzerland, in what was a perfect start to the 2024/25 UEFA Nations League (UNL) for the Scandinavian side. In their third consecutive League A campaign, Denmark are out to at least match the previous two in which they finished second in their respective group, for this time that would send them into the new quarter-finals bracket introduced to this cycle. [/p]
[p]Coming into the tournament off the back of their first winless European Championship finals in 24 years, their form was not promising. But all of a sudden, the Danes look well set to finish the September window with two wins from two, particularly given they’ve won 11 of their last 12 matches (D1) on home soil. That advantage could be just what they need to better the 0-0 draw they managed against Serbia over the summer at Euro 2024.[/p]
[p]Serbia’s most recent scoreless stalemate took place just days ago when they held defending UNL and European Championship title holders Spain to a 0-0 draw in Belgrade. It was their fourth consecutive game without victory (D3, L1), and they have a water-tight defensive unit to thank for limiting the negative impact of the team who scored just a solitary goal during that period. [/p]
[p]Serbia earned their promotion to League A by taking seven of a possible nine points from their three away games in the previous League B cycle and should therefore take some confidence to Copenhagen, particularly when only three months ago they journeyed to nearby Sweden for a friendly and won 3-0 as the underdogs! [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Danish good luck charm Pierre-Emile Højbjerg has scored in his country’s last four victories, opening the scoring within 15 minutes on three of those occasions. Serbia will be hoping Luka Jović can propel them to victory after his last three international goals were scored on foreign soil. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Denmark have scored exactly twice in seven of their last nine UNL games. [/p]
