Serbia vs Switzerland prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - Oсtober 12, 2024
In the third round of the UEFA Nations League in League A, Serbia and Switzerland will face off. The match will take place in Leskovac on Saturday, October 12, with the kickoff scheduled for 20:45 Central European Time. The prediction for this match has been prepared by Dailysports experts.
Serbia
Serbia underperformed at the recent European Championship, but they still have plenty of high-quality players. The team's key players have reached good form ahead of the October matches, so fans have every right to expect positive results.
In the first match, Serbia managed a home draw against the European champions, Spain, but then suffered a defeat in Denmark.
Switzerland
Unlike Serbia, Switzerland had an excellent Euro 2024 campaign. They cleared the group stage, managing to hold off Germany, and then eliminated reigning European champions Italy in the round of 16. However, they were stopped by England in the semifinals after a tough penalty shootout.
In the Nations League, Switzerland started with two disappointing losses, nearly knocking them out of contention for the top spots in their group. A 0-2 loss to Denmark and a 1-4 home defeat to Spain reveal some issues within the team.
Match Facts
- Serbia has failed to score in their last three games.
- Switzerland has kept only one clean sheet in their last eight matches.
- Serbia averages 0.6 goals per game at home, while Switzerland averages 0.7 goals per game when playing away.
Probable Lineups
- Serbia: Rajković, Veljković, Milenković, Pavlović, Birmančević, Lukić, Ilić, Nedeljković, Tadić, Mitrović, Vlahović.
- Switzerland: Kobel, Wüthrich, Rodríguez, Akanji, Omeragić, Aebischer, Zakaria, Freuler, Vargas, Amdouni, Embolo.
Head-to-Head
The teams have faced each other only twice: Switzerland won both matches, 2-1 and 3-2.
Prediction
The match between these two teams of roughly equal strength promises to be exciting. Serbia's poor form has lasted a bit too long, but Switzerland also has a point to prove. My bet is on a total of over 2 goals.
