Serbia vs Greece team news and expert analysis
Serbia failed to qualify for the World Cup, finishing one point behind their rivals Albania in the battle for second place in the group. In 2026, they have played only friendly matches, and their performances have been far from convincing: they defeated only Saudi Arabia while losing to Spain, Cape Verde and Mexico. In each of those defeats, they conceded at least three goals.
Greece performed well in the Nations League, holding their own in the group against England and beating Scotland in last year's spring playoff. However, they later lost to both Scotland and Denmark in World Cup qualifying, collecting just seven points from six games. Their 2026 friendlies have also brought little joy: draws with Hungary and Sweden were followed by 0-1 defeats to Paraguay and Italy.
Paunovic's men score just 0.9 goals per game while conceding 2.2. Tzolis and company have fared no better, averaging 1.2 goals scored and 1.6 conceded.
