Spain travel to Red Star Stadium to face Serbia on the first matchday of Nations League 2024/25 on Thursday, 5 September. Eagles have got the back of a struggling performance in Euro while the Red One enter this game after winning the same competition. Let’s find out the winning picks for this game.
Spain to win 1.64 (16/25)
Serbia had a disappointing campaign in Euro with two draws and a defeat. On the other hand, Eagles will be facing mighty European champions who didn’t lose a single game in the competition. In the only H2H meeting against Serbia in Friendlies, the Red One managed to appear victorious. With the appointment of the new manager Dragan Stojkovic and many new players coming up, it promises to be an easy victory for Spain.
Under 2.5 Goals 1.87 (87/100)
Spain have managed to score more than once in their previous consecutive four matches in Euro 2024. Meanwhile, the Red One has held the strong defense as well, allowing just four goals to be scored in the last seven games. On the other hand, Serbia’s attacking line has been in trouble against European teams, scoring only one goal in the last three games. Furthermore, the only friendly H2H between these teams ended with under 2.5 goals. Given the current scenario, we predict the same outcome to be repeated in this game.
Both teams to score: No 1.80 (4/5)
Serbia were unable to score against Denmark and England in the last three games in Euro 2024. Meanwhile, Spain looked prepared defensively in the competition, keeping three clean sheets on their road to tournament victory. The Red One also secured a consistent scoring form, scoring in all seven games. Adding more, in the H2H meeting against Serbia, Spain managed a 0-2 victory. Following the strong form of the current European champions, we predict only Spain to score in this match.
