- Competition: UEFA Nations League
- Date: Monday, 18th November 2024
- Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
- Venue: Stadion Dubočica (Leskovac)
The most interesting Monday game in the Nations League will probably be in the southern Serbian town of Leskovac, where Serbia will welcome Denmark. The guests will come to Serbia with two points more, so one point is enough for them to progress to the knockout phase, while Serbia needs a win.
The atmosphere in the Serbian team wasn't the best since the EURO, but they collected five points in five Nations League matches, and now they can even hope to finish in the second position in the group. On Friday, Serbia played 1-1 on the road against Switzerland. The home side finished the match with 66% ball possession and 12 shots on the goal more than the guests, but Dragan Stojkovic's team still found a way to keep them in striking distance for the second position on the table.
Denmark started the Nations League with six points in the first two rounds, but after only one point in the next three matches, Brian Riemer's team needs at least a draw on Monday to progress to the knockout phase. In the previous round, Denmark lost 2-1 at home against Spain. Although the teams finished the game with the exact number of shots at the goal, the guests had much better chances, which led to another victory.
Serbia vs Denmark pick: Both teams to score - yes
Serbia have not been a high-scoring team in the last few months. However, the attack looked better as they had Vlahovic and Mitrovic available. On the other hand, Denmark scored at least one goal in four of five Nations League games. Both teams to score - yes should be the best option for this tie.

Strahinja Pavlovic and Strahinja Erakovic missed the game against Switzerland due to suspension, but both will return on Monday. We should expect Serbia to start again with both Aleksandar Mitrovic and Dusan Vlahovic.

Denmark team news
Denmark's Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Joachim Andersen got yellow cards in Spain, and now both will serve suspension in the Nations League decider in Leskovac. Andreas Skov Olsen could be an option instead of Hojbjerg (Eriksen would move into the central midfield), while Victor Nelsson should replace Andersen.
