The October international break is underway

With the October international break underway, the clash between Serbia and Switzerland will take place this coming Saturday at Stadion Dubocica. This is the third round of the Nations League A group stage and things are beginning to heat up. Switzerland beat Serbia twice in their most recent meetings, as they claimed wins by 3-2 and 2-1 respectively. Despite resilient performance in the Euro 2024, Serbia struggles with offensive execution and converting chances. There is a noticeable drop in creativity, especially in the midfield urging tactical improvements before facing Switzerland.

Despite this, their Euro 2024 campaign and later performance highlight a solid base. Yet, they are contending with developing defensive issues, evident from multiple goals conceded recently. The Swiss will feel disappointed by the outcome of their first two fixtures, which has left them with nothing to show. With a knife to their throat, they know it is probably do or die situation in the upcoming game.

Kick-Off:

Saturday, 12 Oct 2024 at 07:45 PM UK

Location: Dubocica Stadium

Form

Serbia (in all competitions): L-D-D-D-L

Switzerland (in all competitions): L-L-L-W-D

Players to Watch

Ivan Ilic (Serbia)

Off the ball, Ivan Ilic is usually looking for pockets of space, horizontally and vertically. He strives to be available at all times and approaches the game with an open stance. Even though he is not a natural defender, he is quite good in the air as well as in one-on-one situations. Ilic is a player with great technical ability, capable of progressing play through both passing and carrying.

Zeki Amdouni (Switzerland)

Zeki Amdouni is a deceptively good dribbler and ball carrier who explodes out of congestion with a quick burst of speed. The youngster is strong on both feet. He is quick enough to be a threat in behind and competes in the air. Amdouni likes to take on players in one-on-one situations and most of the time gets into good positions in the box. He is a multidimensional forward who has the capabilities to lead the line. He will be a key player in the upcoming fixture for Switzerland.
