Germany travel to face Serbia aiming to boost their chances of qualifying for the UEFA Nations League knockout stages with a vital win.
Group Standings and Qualification Context
Jurgen Klopp’s squad enters the fixture sitting three points adrift of both the Netherlands and Greece. Those two opposing teams face each other in Friday’s other Group A2 fixture. A draw in that simultaneous match combined with a defeat for Germany would eliminate Die Mannschaft from quarter-final contention. However, a victory would keep the German side firmly in the hunt ahead of their final group stage encounter against the Netherlands.
