Serbia have lost five matches in a row: prediction for Netherlands — Serbia
The UEFA Nations League fourth-round match between the Netherlands and Serbia will take place on October 4 at the Philips Stadion. The Netherlands have collected five points from three games and sit second in the group, while Serbia have lost all three matches and remain bottom without a single point.
Netherlands: five points and a comeback against Greece
Xavi's side opened the tournament with a 1-1 draw against Germany, then beat Serbia 2-1 before rescuing a point against Greece in the third round — 2-2 after falling two goals behind. The Oranje scored their second goal only in the 89th minute.
Ryan Gravenberch, Noa Lang and Tijjani Reijnders, who scored the late goal against Greece, could return to the starting lineup. However, Cody Gakpo and Brian Brobbey remain sidelined with injuries.
Serbia: three group defeats and five in a row in all competitions
Serbia have endured a disastrous Nations League campaign so far. The team first lost 2-1 to Greece, then suffered the same-score defeat to the Netherlands before going down 2-0 to Germany.
Their overall losing streak has now reached five matches. Serbia's last win in an official fixture came back in November 2025, so the pressure on Veljko Paunović's team continues to mount.

The hosts can put the struggling opponent to the sword: prediction for Netherlands — Serbia
The Netherlands have not looked flawless so far, but they are clearly superior to Serbia in terms of both performance and current form. The team knows how to raise its level as matches progress, something that was particularly evident in the comeback against Greece.
Serbia are currently struggling both for results and confidence. Coming off five straight defeats, an away trip to face an opponent that beat them only recently looks like an extremely difficult test.
