Denmark vs Serbia prediction: The Nations League continues
Denmark and Serbia continue their Uefa Nations League campaigns with a clash in Copenhagen at the Parken on Sunday, September 8th.
Denmark are once again competing in Nations League A after finishing second in Group A1 last season, missing out on the Finals by just a single point. Serbia, meanwhile, topped Group B4 ahead of Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard’s Norway, as well as Slovenia and Sweden, with just one defeat from six matches.
Three predictions for Denmark vs Serbia
Denmark 1-0 Serbia (5/1 with bet365)
Only Germany have beaten Denmark in 2024, while Serbia have won just two of their last nine internationals. This has the potential to be a tight clash. Serbia showed their defensive resiliance against European Champions Spain on Thursday evening, but a narrow victory looks like a likely outcome.
Christian Eriksen anytime goalscorer (33/10 with BetMGM)
Christian Eriksen has enjoyed a more attacking role for his national side throughout his 101 appearances compared to at club level. The Dane found the net at the Euros last summer and let off more shots than any other member of his squad at the tournament.
Denmark to win to nil (9/5 with William Hill)
Denmark have kept a clean sheet in three of their four previous meetings with Serbia including at Euro 2024 in Germany, remaining unbeaten (3W, 1D). They also managed to shut out Switzerland on Thursday evening, and another clean sheet, along with just edging a victory, looks like a predictable outcome.
How both teams go into Denmark vs Serbia
Both these sides head into the Nations League off the back of disappointing Euro 2024 campaigns.
Caretaker Denmark boss Lars Knudsen saw his side enjoy a 2-0 win over Switzerland on Thursday, earning plenty of plaudits. With Spain also in this group, the Scandinavians will know how important that result was and it’s worth noting that they have only lost one of their last 15 international matches across all formats.
Serbia also picked up a positive result in their Nations League opener on Thursday. They held European Champions Spain to a goalless draw in a game that saw a whopping nine yellow cards brandished. Serbia only managed one goal at the most recent Euros and will know they must improve in front of goal if they are to make waves in this competition.
