Command Analysis
Spain
SpainCurrent form
The Spanish national team is having a hard time playing in the League of Nations. In fact, only in the second round match against Switzerland on the road did they manage to win without any problems with a score of 4:1. There were no difficulties with the implementation: four out of eight shots on target were accurate. Moreover, in that match the Spaniards played with ten men from the 20th minute.
In two other matches, Luis de la Fuente men, despite a significant advantage in the game, were unable to show their full potential in the final stages of attacks. A goalless draw was recorded with Serbia. Denmark were "squeezed out" only at the end (1:0) the day before, although they had full control of the initiative and did not allow the opponent to create anything near their goal.
The last matches show difficulties in breaking down the well-organized defense of the opponents. The losses in the lineup are clearly having an effect, even taking into account the deep bench.
Disqualifications and injuries
Yamal will not be able to play today, having been substituted at the end of the game against the Danes due to an injury. The footballer was diagnosed with a muscle strain and returned to Barcelona ahead of schedule. Carvajal, Rodri and Nico Williams are also injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Spain have conceded just one goal in their previous four Nations League matches
- Spain have drawn in the first half in three of their last four matches
- In eight of the team previous nine matches in the Nations League, no more than three goals were scored in regulation time
Probable line-up : Raya - Pedro Porro, Le Normand, Laporte, Cucurella - Ruiz, Zubimendi, Pedri - Yamal, Morata, Oyarzabal.
Serbia
SerbiaCurrent form
Serbia had a poor European Championship, but the team is doing well in the Nations League and has a chance of second place after the first round. The team is currently in third place with four points, only two points behind Denmark in second place.
Dragan Stojkovic men managed to withstand the onslaught of the Spaniards in the first round (0:0), although the opponent had a noticeable advantage. In the second round, the Serbs lost 0:2 to Denmark on the road. That match was very boring, with a minimum number of scoring chances, which the Danes clearly realized. In the third round, the Serbian team left no chance for Switzerland on their home field (2:0), although the opponent created many more dangerous moments and also did not realize a penalty.
As you can see, in none of the three matches played with https://fss.rs target=_blank rel=noopener>Serbia participation were more than two goals scored. Sometimes luck was on their side, but in general the team is not demonstrating an open game and is relying on defense.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jovic will not be able to help his team today due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- None of Serbia three Nations League matches have seen more than two goals scored

1.72Tip and bets
It is noticeable that the Spanish national team is experiencing difficulties in attacking in the League of Nations matches. They were unable to break through the Serbian defense even once in the first round, and they barely scored one goal in the previous game with Denmark. The team performance is clearly affected by the losses in the squad, and today, in addition, Yamal will not play. Serbia is also not shining in attack, and the opponent in the upcoming match will not allow them to create anything in front, since they will most likely have the ball at a level of 70% of the playing time. We think that, given all the pre-match scenarios, we should not expect a productive game.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals with odds of 2.10
Bet on the outcome
Taking into account the recent matches at the European Championship, the Spanish team has only won one of its four previous victories by more than one goal. Serbia is defending reliably and well-organized and is unlikely to lose big today.
The second bet is Serbia victory with an Asian handicap (+1.5) with odds of 1.81
Yellow Card Betting
Let note that in nine previous matches in the Nations League, Serbian players received at least two yellow cards. Today they will have to spend a lot of time defending and it is unlikely that they will be able to work cleanly without violations.
Forecast – Serbia: total yellow cards over two with odds of 1.57
