Spain take on the visitors Serbia in the round 4 match of UEFA Nations League group stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, October 15th at Estadio Nuevo Arcángel (Córdoba).
Spain looks to maintain motivation after recent successes under their current coach. "La Furia Roja" under de la Fuente has been showing incredible efficiency. While last year’s triumph in the UEFA Nations League wasn’t met with overwhelming excitement, given that the new tournament is still gaining popularity, their victory at the Euro impressed everyone. Not only did they achieve great results, but they also played memorable football, managing to defeat all their opponents in Germany. Only the Germans managed to take the match to extra time, but Mikel Merino’s goal eventually sealed the win. However, Spain’s autumn campaign began with a goalless draw in Serbia, followed by a 4-1 thrashing of Switzerland away. In October, despite missing several key players, including Williams, Lamine Yamal and company managed a narrow victory in Denmark. Now, they’ve also let Lamin go.

Under Stojković, the "Eagles" have twice successfully navigated qualification campaigns. They even topped their World Cup qualifying group ahead of Portugal. Last year was tougher, but they still managed to finish second in their group, ahead of neighboring Montenegro. Before that, they won their Nations League group, moving up to Division A. However, Stojković's team struggled in the actual tournaments — both at the World Cup in Qatar and at Euro 2024, Serbia failed to impress and were eliminated without a win. Despite these setbacks, Stojković kept his job. This decision seemed justified after Serbia held newly crowned European champions Spain to a 0-0 draw in the Nations League. But they followed that with a 0-2 loss to Denmark. In October, playing at home in Belgrade against Switzerland, who have become a key rival, Serbia secured a solid 2-0 victory.
Since Serbia’s formation (not counting Yugoslavia and earlier formats), "La Furia Roja" has faced them only once, in 2012, winning that friendly match 2-0. Spain is clearly the stronger team. We recommend betting on the reigning European champions to win with a handicap of "-1.5 goals."
Prediction for the match: Spain to win with -1.5 handicap.
