Serbia v Switzerland

Serbia vs Switzerland Preview

Serbia will be hoping to break a five-match winless run in all competitions when they play host to fellow Group 4 strugglers, Switzerland, when the two nations go head-to-head at the Gradski stadion Dubocica on Saturday night with Serbia coming into this encounter on the back of a 2-0 defeat away from home at Denmark, while Switzerland were handed a 4-1 thrashing at home to Spain last time out.

Serbia have suffered two defeats and been involved in three draws on the international stage in recent times which consists of losses at the hands of England and Denmark along with gaining points in stalemates with Slovenia, Denmark and Spain, the latter being a 0-0 draw at home in their opening game of this Nations League group stage.

The bigger picture though suggests Serbia are by no means guaranteed a result here on home soil on Saturday night against Switzerland though as the hosts have managed to capture just two wins in their last 11 internationals in all competitions.

Interestingly, both of these rare wins were registered on the road with victories gained at Cyprus and Sweden but also includes being dealt five defeats in the process; on the Nations League front, five of Serbia's 10 home ties have also resulted in both teams scoring and the goals market looks the safest option for this upcoming clash.

Switzerland sit bottom of the early Group 4 standings having slipped to back-to-back defeats at the hands of Denmark 2-0 away from home before a heavy 4-1 loss at home to Spain, so needless to say the Swiss will be desperate to set the record straight in Serbia on Saturday night.

The visitors will be hoping they can rekindle the sort of form which saw them progress out of the group stage and into the knockout rounds of the recent Euro 2024 finals where they recorded wins against Hungary 3-1 and an impressive 2-0 victory over Italy, the latter being in the round of last 16.

A subsequent loss on penalties to England in the quarter-finals saw Switzerland drop out of the tournament but not before holding Gareth Southgate's side to a 1-1 draw at the end of extra-time.

As the visitors have now lost their last three internationals on the trot though, it may be best to focus on the goals market for this upcoming fixture against Serbia especially as six of Switzerland's last 10 games overall have resulted in both teams hitting the back of the net.
