How to watch the UEFA Nations League A match between Switzerland and Serbia, as well as kick-off time and team news
Switzerland will be fighting to maintain their place in UEFA Nations League A as they welcome Serbia on Friday, with a slow start in Group 4 putting them on the brink of relegation.
Their latest outing saw Switzerland twice surrender a lead at home against Denmark, ending their hopes of reaching this season’s Nations League quarter-finals and extending their winless streak since Euro 2024. Murat Yakin’s squad initially pulled ahead in St. Gallen, thanks to an early goal from Remo Freuler and a Zeki Amdouni penalty just before halftime. However, they ultimately had to settle for a draw—leaving them with only one point so far in Group 4.
Serbia, while unable to progress beyond the group stage at Euro 2024 (in contrast to the Swiss, who advanced to the quarter-finals), have had a stronger Nations League showing. Under Dragan Stojkovic’s guidance, they earned a hard-fought goalless draw with Spain on the opening matchday, followed by a 2-0 loss in Denmark. Last month, Serbia clinched a home victory over Switzerland, with Aleksandar Mitrovic finding the net at the hour mark.

Team news & squads
Switzerland team news
Head coach Murat Yakin faces a serious dilemma in defense, with Fabian Schar having retired from international duty post-Euros and both Nico Elvedi and Manuel Akanji unavailable—Akanji sidelined this month due to an adductor injury. For the first time in eight years, none of these key defenders will feature in Switzerland’s starting lineup, leaving the squad with only the uncapped Aurele Amenda and Albian Hajdari as center-back options.
In light of these absences, midfielder Eray Comert might have to step into the backline, especially with Denis Zakaria also out of action and Bologna winger Dan Ndoye unavailable as well. As ever, Granit Xhaka will wear the captain’s armband for Die Nati in midfield, partnered by Remo Freuler.
Switzerland possible XI: Kobel; Widmer, Hajdari, Comert, Rodriguez; Freuler, Xhaka; Amdouni, Rieder, Aebischer; Embolo.
Serbia team news
Aleksandar Mitrovic, Serbia’s captain and record-breaking scorer with 59 goals in 96 matches, continues his strong season with Al-Hilal in the Saudi Pro League. However, the Serbian side will be without another Saudi League talent, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, along with his brother, goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, who recently withdrew.
Ivan Ilic of Torino is out with a knee injury picked up in the Derby della Mole against Juventus, while defender Strahinja Pavlovic will miss the match due to suspension. On a positive note, Dragan Stojkovic welcomes back Dusan Vlahovic; the Juventus striker returns to the squad after being absent in October.
Serbia possible XI: Petrovic; Erakovic, Milenkovic, Pavlovic; Nedeljkovic, Maksimovic, Grujic, Terzic; Samardzic; Vlahovic, Mitrovic.
