Serbia Preview: Serbian chaos

Dragan Stojkovic remains in charge of the Serbian national team despite many, including Nemanja Vidic, calling for his resignation after the Serbs once again underperformed at a major tournament with a group stage exit at UEFA EURO 2024 this summer.

The home team come into this one on the back of a 1-1 draw against Switzerland the other day and they sit three points clear of Switzerland with the Serbs now expected to avoid automatic relegation down to League B.

Denmark Preview: The new Denmark

Denmark parted company with manager Kasper Hjulmand after UEFA EURO 2024 where they were knocked out by Germany in the Round of 16. The Danes were without a manager in September and October but have now appointed former Anderlecht boss Brian Riemer.

His reign in charge of the UEFA EURO 2020 semi-finalists began the other day with a clash against defending UEFA Nations League and UEFA European Championship winners Spain in Copenhagen, suffering a 2-1 loss to La Roja.

Serbia vs Denmark Prediction

For the neutral this one could be quite good fun. Serbia have the pressure off with Switzerland now almost nailed on for automatic relegation as they face Spain in the Canary Islands. Denmark will want to continue to progress a little and try to gel a bit more after the new appointment of Brian Riemer. Both sides have a bit of a point to prove at the minute so both teams scoring could well be a good bet for this one.
