Serbia vs Germany prediction: expert analysis, possible lineups, November 13, 2026
On November 13, 2026, Serbia and Germany will meet in the 5th round of UEFA Nations League A. The visitors need to win, while their opponents are looking to end their losing streak.
Serbia vs Germany: team lineups and expert analysis
After a decent spell, Serbia endured a disastrous qualifying campaign last year. Things have not improved since: they have yet to pick up a single point in this Nations League campaign. What’s more, they had also lost their other matches in 2026 before this, including friendlies, with the exception of a 2-1 win in Saudi Arabia.
Germany put in a solid showing at the “home” Euro 2024 under Nagelsmann. But at the World Cup this summer, they were knocked out in the first round of the playoffs, losing on penalties to unfancied Paraguay. Klopp took charge in the autumn. His start has been unconvincing: Germany let a win against the Netherlands slip away, picked up just one point in two matches against Greece, and beat only their current opponents, 2-0.
Paunović’s side average just 0.8 goals scored and concede far more, at 2.3 per game. The historic powerhouse scores twice and concedes an average of 0.8 in reply.
Previous matches: Serbia vs Germany
The teams have met four times, with Germany winning twice and losing once.
The visitors should win again against such modest, openly struggling opponents, covering the “-1.5 goals” handicap (odds – 1.79).
