Denmark are a versatile team capable of creating opportunities. Looking forward, new manager Brian Riemer has several options at his disposal including Rasmus Hojlund and Kasper Dolberg that could propel his side to knockout stage success.
Serbia are struggling for survival in Group E and will rue their lack of goalscorers. Dragan Stojkovic’s squad boasts plenty of proven goalscoring threats but have only managed two goals so far in five group matches.

Denmark
Denmark boasts one of the most successful national football teams ever seen, most notably winning three European Championship titles since 1992 and three Olympic silver medals since then. Their success continues as they earned three top-4 finishes and two Olympic silver medals during subsequent tournaments and also three UEFA European Cup championships.
As they currently sit second in Group 4, with seven points from five matches, victory against Serbia on Monday could secure them a place in the quarter-finals. Meanwhile, Serbia could potentially finish bottom of their group with only two points earned out of five matches played so far.
This match will take place at Dubocica Stadium in Leskovac city, Serbia. Denmark and Serbia have played two prior meetings and Denmark won one while losing one to Serbia.
On Monday, new coach Brian Riemer must make some tough choices about which squad will face Serbia at Euro 2024: either keeping their successful lineup unchanged, or trying something more experimental. Either way, finding ways to score goals will be essential for Denmark to successfully defend their crown.
Rasmus Hojlund may have struggled at Manchester United this season, yet remains an excellent attacking player with good speed and the ability to run behind defences. Denmark will need to figure out how best to utilize him; unfortunately he’s not one of those strikers that can produce high-scoring games all by himself.
Joakim Maehle boasts an efficient passing game but lacks the raw speed necessary to challenge elite defenses. To complement his skills on the left flank is Mads Roerslev who boasts both versatility and pace.
Torino midfielder Ivan Ilic is expected to miss out due to a knee injury, likely giving Nemanja Gudelj and Nemanja Maksimovic starting positions in the centre of the park. Joshua Zirkzee from Manchester United could add some flair but could be limited due to poor fitness levels following an ankle injury sustained against Everton earlier in the month.
Serbia
Serbia and Denmark will face off for an important matchup in the UEFA Nations League on November 19 at Dubocica Stadium in Leskovac, Serbia. Both teams are fighting for second place in their group and victory would go a long way towards qualifying for quarterfinals. Both have shown mixed results during previous encounters so the result may prove close.
Serbia may be in an uphill struggle to qualify for the next stage of tournament play, yet they haven’t given up hope of reaching it. Their final match against Portugal ended 2-2 and gave them hope of qualifying; unfortunately other results went against them and Belgium and Croatia took their places instead.
Dick Advocaat had served as manager of the Netherlands national football team prior to coaching this team. Under Advocaat’s direction, many young players joined his squad; his more attacking style of play also greatly improved its performance.
But Dutchman Niko Kovacevi was only in office briefly before being replaced by Serbian Niko Kovacevi in June 2021. Since then, Serbia have struggled to refocus their strategy; their recent loss against Portugal in Belgrade marked their third straight defeat and they currently hold just one point from five matches played thus far in this competition.
Serbia currently lies third in the UEFA Nations League standings, two points behind Denmark. They met twice this season – each team winning one game while drawing another – but neither managed to pull away with victory in either matchup. They will face each other again in January 2025 when Serbia may look to capitalize on Denmark’s poor form and increase its chances of qualifying for further rounds.
South America and Mexico fans can watch it live via ESPN; while European viewers will have VAVEL as their broadcast option. Fans will also have access to this event through FIFA app streaming; fans at Dubocica Stadium can catch all the action under commentary by Gab Marcotti and Julien Laurent.
Head-to-Head Record
Denmark will look to avoid their third loss in Group Stage when they meet Serbia, in a match which will be crucial for both teams. Denmark can finish second if they can defeat Serbia; Serbia may exit if Slovenia beats them – though Slovenia are much stronger opponents and would probably progress should they beat Serbia first. So to have any chance at qualifying, Red and Whites need to improve on their poor goalscoring record in order to increase scoring chances against Slovenia.
Danish teams and their hosts have met 12 times in all competitions, with Denmark holding an edge with three victories to one draw in favour of Denmark. Their most recent meeting ended with Frederik Ronnow scoring the decisive goal against a less-than-full strength team in March 2022 – their latest encounter was also won 1-0 by Denmark!
Both teams will be missing several players for their trip to Dubocica Stadium, with Serbia likely fielding Torino midfielder Ivan Ilic in place of injured Nemanja Gudelj and forward Luka Jovic still without scoring in this year’s Nations League, after being brought on as a late substitute against Spain.
Danish midfielder Thomas Delaney will return from illness that kept him out of their opening 3-0 loss against England, providing them with a boost. Ajax star Delaney excels at creating chances from any position within the final third and has been integral to Ajax’s attacking play this season.
Head-to-head, these two sides are deadlocked at five wins each; including a 2-2 tie in October 2024. However, Denmark has come out victorious four out of the last five matches against their hosts, most recently scoring 2-0 victory in September.
These two sides have faced off five times since 2014 and each team has posted three goals or less in every match played between them, both conceding over six goals in total. Due to this intense rivalry in all departments, this should prove an exciting and highly-competitive matchup.
Prediction
Denmark have an opportunity to claim second place in Group H with a victory against Serbia. Denmark have held off Serbia in both of their previous meetings, including a 1-1 draw at Euro 2024. Although they’ve struggled at times defensively this campaign resulting in some soft goals being conceded, last match they created several clear scoring chances without finding the back of the net.
They will hope they can find success against Serbia, who remain troubled in front of goal. After an encouraging start in their Nations League campaign, Serbia have seen their scoring drop significantly in recent games; scoring only twice out of their last ten matches while conceding five goals; unlikely relegation from Europe’s national football competitions, but must begin winning more games soon if they wish to remain at the top tier of European national competitions.
Dragan Stojkovic may have faced considerable scrutiny following Serbia’s poor showing at Euro 2024, yet his side managed to rally and secure an impressive 1-0 victory against Switzerland in their most recent match. Now under immense pressure to maintain their qualifying hopes despite narrow margins for success, they need to keep winning 1-0 wins like this to stay alive.
Denmark manager Brian Riemer does not anticipate any new injury concerns ahead of this game and may opt to field a similar starting lineup that was used against England.
Both teams boast impressive records against one another, each winning five of 10 encounters between them – though Danes have won four out of those five wins in recent years – with Aleksandar Mitrovic hoping for an improved showing after a rough start in this tournament.
If a match ends in a tie, both teams will be tied on points and head-to-head record, making the winner advance while the loser will be eliminated from contention. Goal totals scored by both teams will serve as the initial tiebreaker; afterwards disciplinary points and European Qualifiers rankings may come into play as tiebreakers.
