Will Jurgen Klopp turn Germany back into major tournament contenders?
Open poll and resultsSerbia vs Germany prediction
Goal difference could yet decide which two nations qualify from Group A2 for the Nations League quarter-finals in March. With that in mind, Germany don't just need to win this game, they need to win it by a large margin, as their goal difference is smaller than that of both the Netherlands and Greece heading into this latest round of fixtures.
It's been an inconsistent start for Jurgen Klopp since he took over as head coach. He is clearly still figuring out his best team and has already experimented with many different players. Even so, Germany comfortably beat Serbia 2-0 in Munich last month, and results have to be the priority in this international break.
Serbia have lost four from four in the group, so there is no excuse for Germany not to get the better of them for a second time. Any outcome other than a convincing victory for Klopp's men in Belgrade would be seen as a huge shock.
