With several problems in the squad, Serbia will host the European champion Spain in Belgrade. Dusan Vlahovic refused the call-up from coach Stojkovic and is out of the squad. Filip Kostic, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic will also miss the match, while Dusan Tadic has finished playing for the national team.
Spain will not be able to count on Alvaro Morata, Unai Simon and Mikel Merino in the midfield. It is expected that Lamin Jammal and Nico Williams will lead the team and be enough to secure the three points for La Roja.

Despite not winning any matches in the European and World Championships, Serbia kept coach Dragan Stojkovi? at the helm. Overall, however, Serbia does not seem to be performing well lately. The coach sparked controversy by leaving out of the squad Dusan Vlahovic and Filip Kostic, while Aleksandar Mitrovic and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic are injured. Former captain Dusan Tadic has also retired from the national team.
Spain deservedly won the European title, as well as the latest edition of the Nations League. They also won gold at the Olympic Games this summer. The expectations remain high and for good reason. It remains to be seen if they will continue their good performance. Spain will also be without two key players, Rodri and Morata.
Prediction: Spain to winUnlike Spain, Serbia has definitely not been impressive in their recent performances. I don't think the Serbians will be able to cause an upset in this match, even if they don't go down easily.
