Denmark vs Serbia Match Analysis & Prediction
08/09/2024 7:00 pm
Denmark make a return to Parken for another UEFA Nations League home game on Sunday, when Serbia visit Copenhagen.
Hosts Denmark are under new management after the departure of Kasper Hjulmand following their last-16 exit to Germany at Euro 2024.
Hjulmand’s long-term successor has yet to be decided, with Lars Knudsen currently in caretaker charge for this set of Nations League matches in a similar scenario to Lee Carsley with England.
The former Leicester City coach has come in for plenty of praise after a fine first game in charge, as the Red and Whites beat Euro quarter-finalists Switzerland 2-0 on Thursday night.
It was the perfect start to their third straight appearance in League A, as a repeat of their top-two finishes in the previous two iterations will now see them progress to the quarter-finals in a new, expanded format.
Serbia’s goalless draw with Spain on the opening night also benefits Denmark, who know that they can remain at least two points clear at the top with another victory here.
Despite a poor showing at the Euros in the summer, Serbia have stuck with manager Dragan Stojkovic, and he led a much-changed side to a fine draw with the reigning European and Nations League champions on Thursday.
While that was a pleasing result, Serbia must still improve across the board, as they have won just two of their last 10 matches, having gone out in the group stages of Euro 2024 with just two points.
Those performances in Germany were a continuation of their shaky form in qualifying, as Serbia only narrowly progressed in second position at the expense of Montenegro.
However, the Nations League brought out the best of them earlier in Stojkovic’s reign, securing promotion to League A for the first time in 2022.
A defeat on matchday one in Norway kicked Serbia into gear, going on to pick up 13 points from the remaining 15 available to progress to the top tier at the Nordic side’s expense.
Across all edition of the Nations League, Serbia have shown fine form, losing just three of their 19 matches in the competition, but this will be a whole new test as they are favourites to be relegated back to League B despite that promising start.

Denmark Team News
Denmark lost the hugely influential duo of Simon Kjaer and Thomas Delaney following Euro 2022 as they both announced their international retirement.
Joakim Maehle and Rasmus Hojlund are also absent with injury, so Albert Gronbaek was given his Denmark debut in attack against the Swiss, but he will compete with Patrick Dorgu and Gustav Isaksen for a start here.
