Predictions

GERMANY - SERBIA

  • A heavy favourite, with the price to match. Germany is the shortest price on a book of 1.24 / 6.15 / 13.17 (1 / X / 2), an implied 77.2%. Across the three outcomes the book reads 77.2% / 15.6% / 7.3% on an overround of 4.5%.

  • Liquidity is strong — €70,400 already matched on the 1X2 market, putting this among the most heavily traded fixtures on the card. Prices in a market that deep are far more reliable than in a thin one.

  • Germany team news: Kai Havertz and Jamal Musiala are both absent from the Nations League squad.

  • Germany team news: Jürgen Klopp is likely to overhaul the lineup that played against Greece.

  • Serbia team news: Serbia are set to make a couple of attacking alterations, with Dusan Tadic and Luka Jovic due to come back into the fold.

  • Serbia team news: Filip Kostic might also be brought back into the setup by Veljko Paunovic.

  • Germany are without 4 — Leon Goretzka (Out - injured), Jamal Musiala (Out - injured), Angelo Stiller (Doubtful - injured), Kai Havertz (Out - injured).

  • Serbia are without 2 — Dusan Vlahovic (Out - injured), Mihailo Ivanovic (Out - injured).

  • Early lineups are in: Germany set up 4-2-3-1 against 4-2-3-1. See the pitch graphic above for the full XI.

  • Germany lean hardest on Alexander Nübel (9.3), Karim Adeyemi (8.3), Anton Stach (8.3) on our Player Index — how much of the side's football each man accounts for, out of 10. It measures involvement and cover, not performance.

  • Jamal Musiala is out for Germany — index 6.9, against 9.5 for the best cover we hold at his position. Well covered.

  • Kai Havertz is out for Germany — index 8.3, against 7.4 for the best cover we hold at his position. Noticeable.

  • Serbia lean hardest on Filip Kostic (7.2), Andrija Zivkovic (7.2), Srdjan Babic (7.2) on our Player Index — how much of the side's football each man accounts for, out of 10. It measures involvement and cover, not performance.

  • The projected score for this one is Germany 2 - 0 Serbia, a home win by 2 with 2 goals in it — short of the 2.5 line.

  • The read: Germany at 1.24 is short enough that the value, if there is any, sits on the handicap or in the goals market rather than the outright.
