Serbia walk into Munich on the back of four consecutive defeats, yet they have still found the net in four of their last five senior outings.

That contradiction, a team leaking goals but never quite going cold in front of goal, sits at the heart of this UEFA Nations League A2 clash, and it is why Germany's route to a first win of the campaign looks more inviting than their patchy start suggests.

Two Squads, One Fresh Start

Jürgen Klopp split this international window into two distinct groups, and the one assembled for Serbia and the return fixture against Greece carries genuine intrigue: six players survive from the opening squad, while nine are yet to win a senior cap.

It is a gamble on energy over experience, but it also means Germany arrive without the fatigue that so often creeps into a third fixture in a short window.

Form Lines Worth Weighing

Germany's own results carry a warning alongside the opportunity. They drew 1-1 in Amsterdam after Cody Gakpo cancelled out their lead deep into stoppage time, then were held scoreless at home by a Greek side that sat deep and absorbed pressure.

Serbia have shown they can trouble bigger opposition too, with Luka Jović equalising off the bench against the Netherlands, and Andrija Živković giving them an early lead against Greece before that game slipped away in the closing stages.

Both nations, in other words, have proven they can score against quality opposition, but neither has shown the composure to protect a result late on.

Germany vs Serbia Prediction

Germany get the nod here, built on Serbia's four-match losing run and the sharper legs in Klopp's second-window squad, even allowing for the inexperience mixed into that group.

The obvious complication is Germany's own toothlessness against a well-organised Greek defence, and Serbia may well look to replicate that shape.

Still, Serbia have conceded in every one of their last five matches, and that leak feels more likely to open in Munich than Germany's finishing touch failing again.
