Serbia vs Spain Prediction – UEFA Nations League Picks 9/5/24

In this article, we will formulate a Serbia vs Spain Prediction for this Nations League game on Thursday, September 5th at Red Star Stadium. To formulate this prediction, we will examine:

-Serbia’s recent form and recent player performance 

-Spain’s recent form and recent play performance

-A summary that ties it all together and produces a favorable betting outcome for today’s game between Serbia and Spain. 

Serbia’s Offense Has to be Better

Serbia’s offense needs to be better as they haven’t been exactly running up the score as of late. The last time Serbia scored more than one goal was four games ago. Two games ago against Slovenia, Serbia scored a goal but the defense also gave up a goal. In the last game Denmark played to a 0-0 draw against Serbia. Serbia only managed one shot on goal in that game. Serbia is dealing with some major injury issues heading into this game. Aleksandar Mitrovic and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic are both dealing with injuries and aren’t going to be able to go in this game. Milan Aleksic could end up making his first ever cap for Serbia here. 

Spain Coming off the Biggest Win

Spain’s last game came back in the EURO Final when they were able to beat England 2-1. In that game it was MIkel Oyarzbai who scored in the 86th minute to secure the victory. Spain had 66 percent of the possession and six shots on target and that was enough for the win. Spain is also dealing with some injury issues right now. Unai Simon, Mikel Merino, Alvaro Morata, and Fermin Lopez are all dealinng with injuries and aren’t going to be able to go in this game. David Raya could end up starting in gaol for Spain in this game. 

Serbia vs Spain Prediction

Both teams are dealing with injury issues but Serbia’s are more crucial, especially for a team that isn’t as talented as Spain. Spain is going to get out to a fast start here and Serbia’s lack of offense is going to have no answer. Serbia won’t be keeping up here and it will be Spain that will end up on top. Back Spain to win this game -1.5.
