Serbia vs Denmark Prediction & Betting Tips (18 November)

By sharing points with Switzerland on Friday evening 1-1, Serbia wasted a great opportunity to take 2nd place in this group clearly dominated by Spain. A draw would have been enough this evening to reach the final-8, but it will therefore necessarily be a success to get back in front of the Danes in the standings who are two points ahead. Before that, the Eagles were able to win last October against Switzerland 2-0 before falling against Spain 3-0 This Serbian selection is seriously starting to gain credit by participating in each major competition such as the World Cup or the Euro again last summer. However, the Serbs did not manage to surpass the group stage last June by only scraping two points via draws against Slovenia 1-1, and Denmark precisely during J3 0-0. We can to say it, Denmark practically did the job in September by winning its first two scores in this League of Nations by outclassing Switzerland which had suffered two exclusions 2-0, and the same Serbia 2-0.

Since then, it has been a black hole for the Danes who lost twice against La Roja 1-0 in Spain, and 1-2 last Friday at home. There was also a draw in Switzerland during the 4th day 2-2. With 7 points, the partners of the legend Eriksen only need a parity score this evening to validate their ticket for the final-8. Like Serbia, the semi-finalist of Euro 2021 played Euro 2024 for an exit against the host country of the competition, Germany, in the 1/8th final 1-2. 

Excluded against Spain in October, AC Milan central defender Pavlovic has served his red card and will be eligible again for his coach. Also present is the striker Mitrovic (Al-Hilal) who could bite his fingers after his missed penalty last Friday against Switzerland in the event of non-qualification for the final-8. We'll find a lot of people for this gathering including Panathinaikos midfielder Maksimovic, Atalanta midfielder Samardzic, and even the corridor players Nedeljkovic (Aston Villa) and Birmancevic (Sparta Prague). The interesting Grujic (Porto), came off the bench Friday evening in Switzerland since the latter has just returned from injury. Let us remember that Torino goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic is injured and OUT like his club partner, midfielder Ilic (21 caps), without forgetting the crucial Sergej Milinkovic-Savic (Al Hilal), and Lukic (Fulham). Finally, defender Filip Mladenovic (34 selection, Panathinaikos) is not sure of being present after missing the last match. Tadic (Fenerbahce, ex-Ajax) retired after the Euro while Kostic (Fenerbahce) has not been called up since June.

Opposite, note the suspensions of the important Andersen (ex-Lyon), and Marseillais Hojbjerg. Fortunately for the Danes, there are plenty of people to take over since Mikkel Damsgaard (Brentford) can play in the middle alongside his club friend, Norgaard. Boys like Gronbaek (Rennes), Holjund (Man United), Eriksen (Man United), Isaksen (Lazio), defensive Kristiansen (Leicester), Skov Olsen (5 goals in Jupiler League, Belgium), former Nice player Kasper Dolberg (Anderlecht) are all operational and play, for the most part, in very good teams in the Old Continent and in the finest European competitions or national championships. We are still obliged to recall the retirements of goalkeeper Ronnow (10 caps), the emblematic Kjaer (132 caps), and Jorgensen (Anderlecht). Note also the absences due to injury of defender Maehle (Wolfsburg), Rasmus Kristensen (Frankfurt), Toulouse Nicolaisen, holder Christensen (FC Barcelona), midfielders O'Riley (Brighton), and Kjaergaard (Salzburg), and striker Daramy (Reims, 10 caps).
