Rossocrociati have secured just a single point in four group games.
Switzerland will continue their UEFA Nations League campaign and will welcome Serbia to their backyard. They have had a forgetful campaign this time around and will need nothing less than a miracle to get through to the next round. They are yet to win a game this season having lost four of their last five games. The Red Crosses come into this game on the back of a 2-2 draw against Denmark and are placed at the bottom of their group with just one point.
Serbia on the other hand will try to get as many points as possible from their remaining two games and keep their chances of making it to the knockouts alive. The Eagles have already won a game against Rossocrociati and will be keen to complete a double over their opposition come Saturday. With four points in as many games, Serbia find themselves in the third position.

Players to watch
Zeki Amdouni (Switzerland)
The 2000-born striker has been one of the most entertaining talents to watch out for in the ongoing Nations League. His ability to play across multiple positions as per the requirements of the team makes him an important part of the Eagles’ setup. He’s quick, smart and always has an eye for goal. In fact, he is Switzerland’s top scorer in the tournament with two goals to his name, including a goal against Spain.
Aleksandar Mitrović (Serbia)
The Serbian striker will need to shoulder the goalscoring duties for his side in the upcoming international break. Mitrovic is known for his towering presence inside the box and his natural goalscoring instincts. He is an outright winner when it comes to aerial duels. Moreover, his finishing and positioning abilities will come in as an added advantage for Serbia. Mitrovic was on the scoresheet against Switzerland in the reverse fixture.
