Key stats
- Greece won the only previous Nations League meeting between the sides, 2-1 in Belgrade on Matchday 1 of this edition.
- Coming into Matchday 6, Greece are level on eight points with Germany in Group A2, three points behind leaders the Netherlands, while Serbia are bottom with no points and are certain to finish fourth.
- Greece cannot finish top of the group and will finish third if Germany beat the Netherlands; otherwise they will finish second, unless Germany draw and Greece lose to Serbia – Greece hold the head-to-head advantage over Germany after a 1-0 win in Augsburg and a 0-0 draw in Thessaloniki.
- Serbia have lost all five of their matches in this edition, scoring four goals and conceding 11 – in their 26 Nations League matches before this campaign they had never lost two in a row.
- Greece have never lost back-to-back matches in 31 Nations League matches, but come into this game on the back of a 7-0 defeat by the Netherlands on Friday, the heaviest of their seven Nations League losses.
- Greece have failed to score in their last two Nations League matches, equalling their longest such run in the competition.
- Greece have kept 19 clean sheets in 31 Nations League matches, but have conceded ten goals in five matches in this edition – ten of the 23 they have conceded in the competition overall.
- Greece have won more Nations League matches away from home (W11 D1 L4 in 16) than at home (W8 D4 L3 in 15).
- Greece are winless in their last four home Nations League matches (D2 L2), since a 2-0 win over the Republic of Ireland in Piraeus on 13 October 2024.
- Serbia are winless in their last six away Nations League matches (D2 L4), since a 2-0 win in Norway on 27 September 2022.
- Serbia are unbeaten on Matchday 6 of the Nations League league phase (W3 D1 in four), with a combined score of 11-1, including a 5-0 win over Russia in 2020 – their biggest win in 31 Nations League matches.
- Aleksandar Mitrović has scored 15 goals in 19 Nations League appearances, joint second in the competition's history with Cristiano Ronaldo, behind Erling Haaland (22).
Greece vs Serbia prediction
Greece had been impressive in their opening four games with two wins and two draws, albeit frustrated it wasn’t three with a draw after they had given up a 2-0 lead against the Netherlands in Thessaloniki last month – then losing 7-0 to Xavi’s Oranje at the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam the other day.
That means Greece could still be eliminated even if they win this one, currently sitting above Germany on the head-to-head rule but a German win at home against the Dutch would make it a three-way tie and then a three-way mini-table at the top of the group in which Greece’s seven-goal demolition will now majorly cost them.
That is something for them to ponder later on in the game, and potentially regret. As for now, they should earn themselves three more points against a poor Serbian side that now have a couple of suspensions, too, after going down to nine men in Belgrade against Germany on Friday.
