UEFA Nations League · 2Serbia vs Netherlands Preview
Serbia's recent form paints a grim picture heading into this Nations League Group A2 clash. Three defeats in their last four outings have left the Eagles struggling for confidence, and a leaky defence that has shipped 14 goals in that stretch is a massive concern. Dusan Vlahovic and Dejan Joveljic bring sharp club form, but Serbia need more than individual brilliance to stop the rot against quality opposition like Germany, Greece, and the Netherlands.
The Netherlands arrive in transition but brimming with talent. Xavi Hernandez takes charge for the first time, bringing his trademark possession philosophy to replace Ronald Koeman's pragmatic setup. Three wins in their last five matches suggest solid momentum, though a notable injury crisis and the omission of Memphis Depay and Wout Weghorst signal bold squad decisions. Virgil van Dijk's commitment to the national team provides crucial leadership as Xavi begins reshaping this side.
The Netherlands' away win at 1.45 represents the strongest value pick here. Serbia have lost three of their last four matches and conceded 14 goals in that stretch, a defensive record that screams vulnerability. The Dutch, by contrast, have won three of five recent outings and carry far superior squad depth even with injuries.
Xavi Hernandez's appointment brings tactical intrigue, but the raw quality gap between these squads is substantial. Dusan Vlahovic and Dejan Joveljic offer Serbia genuine attacking threat, which is why both teams to score at 1.05 deserves consideration alongside the outright away win.
Serbia's porous backline also makes over 2.5 goals at N/A an attractive selection. With Virgil van Dijk anchoring the Dutch defence and creative replacements like Guus Til and Mexx Meerdink both arriving in strong club form, the Netherlands possess enough firepower to exploit Serbia's weaknesses across the pitch.
