Germany risks missing out on the UEFA Nations League quarterfinals if it fails to beat Serbia on its travels this Friday.
Die Mannschaft won just one of its four matches under new manager Jürgen Klopp during the September-October break, but that was a 2–0 triumph over Serbia courtesy of strikes from Tom Bischof and Florian Wirtz.
Currently third in Group 2 of League A and trailing Greece and the Netherlands by three points, Germany knows victory is more or less essential in Belgrade. If it loses and the Dutch avoid defeat on Matchday 5, then it will be unable to reach the last eight, as well as being in danger of an unthinkable relegation to League B.
Luckily for the four-time world champion, Serbia has been the whipping boy of the group thus far. Beaten 2–1 by the Netherlands (twice) and Greece either side of their loss to Germany, Veljko Paunović’s men know they will be demoted if they fail to win their next match.
Here’s how to watch the clash at the Rajko Mitić Stadium.

Germany will renew its fierce rivalry with the Netherlands in its final Nations League group stage fixture next Monday, with the reverse fixture ending 1–1 in Klopp’s dugout debut following a last-gasp equalizer from his former Liverpool player Cody Gakpo.
The final matchday could well be meaningless for Serbia, who knows it can no longer reach the quarterfinals no matter the outcome of Friday’s game. However, its match with Greece could have significant ramifications for its host, who will clinch a quarterfinal spot with four points from its last two group games.
