Serbia drew 1-1 away against Switzerland in the last match, with a record of one win, two draws, and two losses in the group stage, currently ranking third in their group. The national team roster for Serbia includes key players such as Dusan Vlahovic, Aleksandar Mitrovic, Luka Jovic, and Nikola Milenkovic, indicating that their overall strength should not be underestimated. Serbia typically employs a 3-4-2-1 formation, focusing on defensive counterattacks as their main tactical approach. In terms of statistics, Serbia has scored three goals and conceded six in the group stage so far. Although their defensive strategy has yielded decent results, their offensive performance has been disappointing, highlighting their strength in defense but weakness in attack. Fortunately, Serbia has been relatively strong at home, remaining unbeaten in their last four home matches with two wins and two draws.
Denmark lost 1-2 at home to Spain in the last match, currently standing second in the group with two wins, one draw, and two losses. The Danish national team roster includes players like Rasmus Hojlund, Christian Eriksen, Kasper Schmeichel, and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, showcasing their overall strength as one of the top teams in the group. Denmark typically uses a 3-4-3 formation, with strong midfield control being their advantage. It is worth noting that Denmark’s attacking play heavily relies on Eriksen’s ability to organize in midfield; however, due to his age, his athleticism has diminished significantly. Thus, Eriksen’s presence can be seen as a double-edged sword for the team. Additionally, Denmark has struggled in away matches, recording only two draws and three losses in their last five away games, making it difficult for them to secure a win.
There is no doubt that Denmark’s overall strength and performance are significantly better than Serbia’s. However, Denmark’s poor away record raises concerns about their prospects. Considering Serbia’s strong home performance, they could potentially secure points against the struggling Denmark in this match.
