Sat Oct 12 17:50:00 UTC 2024: ## Serbia and Switzerland Seek First Nations League Win in Crucial Clash
**Leskovac, Serbia** – Serbia and Switzerland will both be looking to finally break their winless streaks in the UEFA Nations League when they meet at the Dubocica Stadium on Saturday. Both teams sit in the bottom two positions of League A Group 4 after failing to secure any points in their opening two matches.
Serbia, currently ranked 35th in the world, are struggling to find their form after a disappointing Euro 2024 campaign. While they managed a draw against Spain in their first Nations League match, a subsequent defeat against Denmark leaves them five points behind the leaders.
Switzerland, ranked 15th, haven’t fared much better. They suffered heavy losses against Denmark and Spain in their opening two matches, leaving them without a single point in the group.
The Swiss have a slight edge over Serbia in their previous meetings, having secured victories in both the 2018 World Cup qualifier and the 2022 World Cup group stage.
Despite their recent struggles, Serbia can draw comfort from their strong home record. They are undefeated in their last seven home matches.
However, Serbia will be without key players including Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, Andrija Zivkovic and Ivan Ilic due to injuries. Meanwhile, Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic has withdrawn due to family problems.
Switzerland will also be missing several key players, including Ruben Vargas, Denis Zakaria and Becir Omeragic due to injuries.
This clash presents a crucial opportunity for both teams to turn their fortunes around. A win for either side could potentially revive their Nations League ambitions.
With both teams struggling to find their scoring boots, a low-scoring encounter is anticipated. The edge, however, might just be with Switzerland, who could secure a narrow victory and climb out of the bottom spot.
