Greece vs Serbia – Best bets of the match
Greece vs Serbia Preview
Greece face Serbia desperate to restore credibility after a catastrophic 7-0 demolition at the hands of the Netherlands. Coach Ivan Jovanovic has framed this fixture as essential for repairing his side's image. Remarkably, Greece have never lost consecutive matches across 31 Nations League outings, a record that provides some reassurance. They still harbour ambitions of a top-two finish in Group 2, making three points here vital.
Serbia arrive already relegated to League B, having lost all five group matches this campaign, conceding 11 goals while scoring just four. Friday's 3-1 defeat to Germany, in which they finished with nine men, extended a wretched run to seven consecutive losses across all competitions. Coach Veljko Paunovic has lost every away fixture during his tenure, and with morale at rock bottom, this side look bereft of answers.
Greece's home win at 1.44 looks the standout selection here. The hosts have never suffered back-to-back defeats across 31 Nations League fixtures, a record that speaks to their resilience in this competition. They also beat Serbia 2-1 in Belgrade earlier this campaign, establishing a clear psychological advantage. With a top-two finish still within reach, motivation could not be higher for Ivan Jovanovic's side.
Serbia, by contrast, arrive on a run of seven consecutive defeats across all competitions. Already relegated to League B, Veljko Paunovic's men have lost every match this edition, conceding 11 goals in five outings. Their most recent fixture saw them reduced to nine men against Germany, underlining persistent discipline issues. Away form is particularly dire, with six straight losses on the road under Paunovic.
Under 2.5 goals at 2.15 offers additional value. Serbia's relegation removes any attacking urgency, while Greece will prioritise control and composure over flamboyance following their Dutch humiliation. Greece's coach has framed this as a match about restoring the team's image, suggesting a disciplined, measured approach rather than an open contest. A narrow home victory feels the likeliest outcome.

Medium confidence
Both sides line up in a 4-2-3-1, setting the stage for a tactically familiar contest in Athens. Sergej Milinković-Savić sits at the heart of Serbia's midfield structure, while Greece will look to Christos Tzolis to provide the creative spark behind lone striker Fotis Ioannidis.
Serbia's lineup carries greater source confidence, corroborated across multiple credible outlets, whereas Greece's probable XI rests on a single source and may yet shift before kickoff. That caveat aside, the mirrored formations suggest a tight, shape-conscious encounter where midfield control could prove decisive.
