Context last updated 28 Sep 2026, 05:55 · Europe/Bucharest

Neither side has won in Group A2, Germany on one point and Serbia none, and with Klopp changing most of his line-up in Munich the home side is the likely winner without being a certainty.

Serbia have scored in both group games and drew 1-1 on their last visit. A Germany win at 1.22 assumes too much. Serbia to be level or ahead at half-time at 2.10, Serbia to avoid defeat at 3.80, the draw at 5.75, the half-time draw at 3.00 and Under 2.5 goals at 2.88 carry a case.

Context

Klopp named a 44-man group and split it into two match squads for a window of four games in eleven days, and the Munich fixture falls to the second block, which also travels to Greece on 4 October. Selection is therefore being driven by workload and testing rather than by a settled first team, and the personnel who lost to Greece are only a partial guide to what starts against Serbia. The blocks were drawn up before the window and overlap in quality, so reading the split as either a clearly weakened or clearly strengthened German side goes beyond what it shows.
- Jürgen Klopp divided his 44 called-up players into two squads, each covering two of Germany's four Nations League matches in this window.
- The second squad block is assigned to the games against Serbia in Munich on 1 October and Greece in Thessaloniki on 4 October.
- The arrangement was introduced because Germany face four fixtures in eleven days.

Germany carry one point from two Group A2 games into the Serbia fixture after a 1-0 home defeat by Greece in Augsburg, their first loss on home soil under Klopp. Klopp publicly declined to treat it as a crisis, describing the result as information to be used rather than a reason to change course, which points to continuity in approach. The main counterweight is that a rotated block plays this match, so the Greece result reflects a group that will mostly not be on the pitch in Munich.
- Germany lost 1-0 at home to Greece in Augsburg on 27 September 2026.
- Germany had drawn 1-1 away to the Netherlands on 24 September 2026.
- Jürgen Klopp called himself 'completely unbothered' by the defeat and described a loss as 'just a piece of information' when the right conclusions are drawn.

Both teams arrive without a win, Germany on one point and Serbia on none, with Greece and the Netherlands already ahead of them in the group. Dropping points at home would leave either side with little room to recover in a short four-team group, which raises the cost of an off night for both coaches. Two rounds is still an early snapshot, so the pressure the table describes is real but not yet decisive.
- After two matchdays, Group A2 reads Greece on 6 points, the Netherlands 4, Germany 1 and Serbia 0.
- Germany lost 1-0 at home to Greece and drew 1-1 away to the Netherlands.
- Serbia lost 1-2 at home to Greece and 1-2 at home to the Netherlands.

Tadić has reversed his international retirement and been named in Serbia's Nations League group, adding a 37-year-old creator to a side that has lost both opening fixtures. His recall gives Veljko Paunović an extra option in the attacking third and is a talking point at home, where the decision drew criticism for delaying a generational transition. Whether he starts in Munich or appears from the bench is unresolved, so his return is clearer as a squad development than as a fixed role.
- Dušan Tadić, 37, came out of international retirement and was included in Serbia's Nations League squad.
- Tadić plays his club football for NEC Nijmegen.
- Dušan Tadić started 1 of the 5 recent team fixtures with available lineups.
