Serbia vs Greece in Nations League with both chasing World Cup wounds
Serbia and Greece meet in Nations League with both seeking momentum after missing the 2026 World Cup.
Serbia and Greece clash in the Nations League at Stadion Rajko Mitic in Belgrade, both having missed the 2026 World Cup. Serbia will be without striker Dusan Vlahovic, who pulled out through injury.
Head coach Veljko Paunovic will lean on midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and 37-year-old Dusan Tadic in attack. Greece have a younger squad led by Charalampos Kostoulas, who has scored four goals in eight games for Brighton this season, including against Arsenal at the weekend.
Midfielder Christos Mouzakitis, just 19, has also started well at Hull. Greece are winless in five international matches since beating Scotland last November.
