Serbia v Denmark: Prediction, Tips and Odds

A place in the quarter-finals of the 2024/25 UEFA Nations League is at stake when Serbia welcome Denmark to the Dubocica Stadium on Monday night.

With Spain already wrapping up top spot in Group A4, second-placed Denmark and third-placed Serbia will battle it out for a place in the last-eight stage of the competition.

The Danes hold a two-point advantage over their Serbian hosts and the visitors will progress if they avoid defeat, but a victory for the Eagles would see them snatch second and go through to the next round.

It promises to be a nerve-jangling contest in Leskovac that could be decided by one piece of brilliance from Serbia's all-time leading goalscorer.

Serbia v Denmark betting tips and predictions

Serbia to win - 13/8

Neither side are in great form heading into this contest, with Serbia failing to win any of their last two matches and Denmark without a victory in three fixtures.

The Eagles were comprehensively beaten 3-0 in Spain in October before then grabbing a late equaliser to pick up a potentially crucial draw in Switzerland on Friday.

After starting their Nations League campaign off with 2-0 home victories over the Swiss and Serbia, Denmark have gone three matches without success, collecting just one point during this period.

What is noticeable is the poor away form of the Red and Whites, who have drawn 2-2 in Switzerland and lost 2-1 in Spain in Group A4, extending their winless run on their travels in the Nations League to three games.

Serbia have saved their better performances when playing on home soil, with a 0-0 draw against Spain followed by a 2-0 success over the Swiss.

The Eagles are unbeaten in their last four Nations League clashes at home, recording three wins and one draw, and they may just have enough to get the job done on home soil and progress to the quarter-finals.

Aleksandar Mitrovic to score at any time - 21/10

Goals have been hard to come by for Serbia and they are the lowest scorers in this group, netting just three times, but they know nothing less than a win will do and it should make them more attacking.

The Eagles will be looking towards the country's all-time top goalscorer Aleksandar Mitrovic to provide the goods, just like he has done 59 times on the international stage.

Now plying his trade in the Saudi Pro League for Al Hilal after several years playing Premier League and Championship football for Newcastle and Fulham, the 30-year-old has been in stunning scoring form since his move in August 2023.

Mitrovic scored 28 league goals from as many games in his debut season and he has already notched 11 times from 10 appearances in this campaign, evidence that he is showing no signs of slowing down.

He scored in Serbia's last home game, the 2-0 success over Switzerland, and Mitrovic looks capable of grabbing another crucial goal for his country.

Nemanja Gudelj to be booked - 9/4

With so much on the line there are bound to be nerves and it would be no surprise to see the tackles flying in, as the two nations aim to disrupt each other's play.

There were five bookings in the reverse fixture in Copenhagen and the chances of the cautions being dished out in this contest look high, with Serbian midfielder Nemanja Gudelj potentially in the firing line.

Gudelj was handed his first appearance of the 2024/25 Nations League when named in the starting XI for the Switzerland draw and he put himself about in that clash, making two tackles and committing one foul.

While the 33-year-old avoided a caution for his country, the same cannot be said when it comes to the domestic scene, as he received his third yellow of the campaign for Sevilla before the international break.

A lot will be asked of Gudelj in the heart of midfield as Serbia attempt to disrupt Denmark's attacking play and he could be forced into making a rash challenge at some stage of the match.
