The defense certainly did not shine in this match. One of those responsible for the crisis of the defensive department is Strahinja Eraković, cumbersome and unpunctual, constantly behind the opponents. The team's overall underwhelming performance was also due to his disappointing performance.

On the other hand, the visiting team arrives at this match after a defeat in the last round. In a dispute valid for UEFA Nations League, Switzerland, who used a 3-4-3 formation, faced the Spain team with a final score of 1-4.

However, with 4 games still to play, Serbia can still reach the position 1 on the league table and can get a maximum of 13 points if they win their remaining matches.

In short tournaments with international teams, the tradition and name are usually a good indicator of what the team is aiming for in the championship.So, considering that, we see a record where the team has never even reached a final of any of the UEFA Nations Leagues. This makes Serbia one of the teams who should fight only to make an honorable appearance at UEFA Nations League.

Although historical data is an important parameter, it is not the only factor that should be considered when assessing Serbia's chances in this UEFA Nations League. The momentum of the team coached by Dragan Stojković is also something that should be taken into consideration.

Therefore, the 29th position in FIFA's ranking also serves as an indicator. As the current moment is not the best, Serbia arrives as a strong shooter in this UEFA Nations League 2024/2025. That means the players come in without too much pressure, and they might even develop their best soccer.
