Germany v Serbia preview as Jürgen Klopp chases first win | OneFootball

Germany, under Jürgen Klopp, host Serbia at Munich's Allianz Arena on Thursday in their third 2026/27 UEFA Nations League match.

According to BuLi News, results so far are 1-1 in Amsterdam against the Netherlands and 0-1 at home to Greece in Augsburg. Pressure now builds to claim a first win.

Klopp accepts the situation but is not panicking. He says he can handle setbacks, will learn from them and improve, and would rather start poorly than finish poorly.

Serbia have lost both openers 1-2 to Greece and the Netherlands, both in Belgrade, the latter settled by a Max Meerdink brace. The sides last met in 2019, a 1-1 draw, Luka Jović scored before Leon Goretzka equalised.

As planned, Germany have refreshed the squad for the Serbia and Greece fixtures, retaining only six players after the first two games, Finn Dahmen, Nico Schlotterbeck, Philipp Treu, Yannik Engelhardt, Bambasé Conté and Serge Gnabry.

Florian Wirtz and Jonathan Burkardt joined early after injuries to Kai Havertz and Jamal Musiala. Marc-André ter Stegen, Jonathan Tah and captain Joshua Kimmich have gone home, while Jonas Urbig, David Raum and Aleksandar Pavlović are among those likely to come into the starting XI.

Serbia have no new injuries, with Strahinja Pavlović expected to shake off the knock that forced him off against the Netherlands.
