Netherlands & Serbia name XIs for Nations League battle | OneFootball

It's still the early days of Xavi Hernández's tenure as top boss in the Netherlands, but there have been signs of promise under the Spain and Barcelona legend, with Oranje welcoming Serbia to Philips Stadion as they look to stay ahead of rivals Germany.

The Netherlands come into their second meeting with Orlovi having yet to taste defeat in Group 2 play, having already beaten Serbia in a 2-1 affair in Belgrade on 27 September.

As for Veljko Paunović's outfit, it's been a torrid campaign, suffering four defeats and looking destined to drop down into Nations League B unless their form massively improves.

Here is how the two sides will look on the pitch in Eindhoven...

Can the Netherlands remain in touching distance of surprise group leaders Greece and ahead of Jürgen Klopp's Germany, or are Serbia 90 minutes away from a much-needed upset?
