Greece vs Serbia prediction: team news, lineups, expert analysis
On November 16, 2026, Greece and Serbia meet in the sixth round of League A in the UEFA Nations League. The hosts will be looking to get the job done.
Greece vs Serbia: team news and expert analysis
Greece earned promotion from League B by beating Scotland in the play-offs. They immediately showed they belong at the elite level, beating both of their opponents—Serbia and Germany—in September. They then led the Netherlands 2-0 but had to settle for a draw. Greece kept another clean sheet against Germany, with the match ending 0-0.
Serbia changed managers after their failure in last year's qualifying campaign. But things only got much worse without Stojković. They have been in dismal form in the Nations League, losing every match this autumn, most of them by a 2-1 scoreline.
The tournament's biggest surprise visited the Dutch in the previous round and unexpectedly fell apart completely, losing 0-7! The group underdogs managed to score against Germany. However, they conceded three times and lost again.
