Serbia v Germany: UEFA Nations League 2026-27 preview, lineups and broadcast information
Serbia will host Germany at the Rajko Mitic Stadium on November 14 (1:15 am IST) in the fifth group-stage fixture of the UEFA Nations League 2026-27. Both sides arrive having completed four group matches apiece.
Serbia have produced underwhelming performances and have suffered back-to-back defeats in their first four games of the European competition, with a noted lack of cutting edge in attack and inconsistency in defence. Veljko Paunović’s men enter the match under pressure, and the preview states that being the hosts will not necessarily make things any easier for them.
Germany appointed Jürgen Klopp as their new head coach following a poor 2026 World Cup campaign, and the DFB side have secured only one win in their first four UEFA Nations League 2026-27 fixtures. The report notes that playing away could present added difficulty, and that Klopp will look to make proper use of his quality squad to try to claim three points.
The article identifies Aleksandar Mitrovic as the experienced forward set to play an important role in Serbia’s final third; he is returning to the national team for the first time since March 2026. Mitrovic is named as the primary striker for the hosts and is described as a former Fulham forward who will seek to step up his game to help Serbia compete against Germany.
Florian Wirtz is highlighted for having shown sharp performances for Liverpool recently and is expected to support Germany both in midfield and in attack. The preview says Wirtz can deliver top performances in those areas and that, with the ball at his feet, he will aim to put opponents on the edge.
The piece states all selected squad members for both nations are fit to be in action and then lists the players named: Serbia — Vanja Milinkovic Savic (GK); Nedeljkovic, Gudelj, Babic, Pavlovic, Terzic; Sergej Milinkovic Savic, Lukic, Stankovic; Mitrovic, Vlahovic. Germany — Urbig (GK); Treu, Tah, Schlotterbeck, Brown; Karl, Kimmich, Nmecha, Wirtz; Fullkrug, Havertz.
With some changes in personnel and home-ground advantage, Serbia will aim to turn their campaign around, while the preview notes Germany’s quality players could prove decisive. The article concludes by suggesting Jurgen Klopp’s men are likely to come out on top and secure three points.
