Team news
Serbia defenders Strahinja Pavlovic and Aleksa Terzic are injured along with experienced PSV midfielder Filip Kostic. Striker Dusan Vlahovic has pulled out of the squad due to personal reasons.
Germany defender Waldemar Anton is injured so RB Leipzig's Ridle Baku has been called up. Striker Niclas Fullkrug returns to the squad and uncapped defender Finn Jeltsch and forward Brajan Gruda are also included.
Need to know
Jurgen Klopp's Germany were unfortunate to pick up only five points from their first four Nations League matches but they need to be more ruthless in their final two games.
A victory in Serbia on Friday is vital to Germany's hopes of qualifying for the quarter-finals and they finish their Group A2 campaign at home to the Netherlands on Monday.
Prediction
Serbia were massively flattered by last month's 2-0 defeat in Germany, where the hosts fired 32 shots to their visitors' one.
The Serbs have lost all four of their Nations League games and their hopes of getting on the scoresheet on Friday were reduced by the withdrawal of in-form Besiktas striker Dusan Vlahovic.
Germany to win to nil is a solid foundation for a Bet Builder in Belgrade.
Die Mannschaft conceded only two goals in four Group A2 games and restricted Greece to five shots in a goalless draw on matchday four.
Florian Wirtz scored in the home win over Serbia and he can repeat the feat on Friday. The Liverpool forward should be confident after contributing a goal and an assist in last weekend's Premier League win at Crystal Palace.
Wirtz also scored in last month's Champions League win over Villarreal and had five shots in Germany's stalemate in Greece.
Freiburg winger Derry Scherhant impressed Klopp during the first batch of Nations League fixtures and he should be backed to have a shot on target.
Scherhant has scored seven goals in 21 Bundesliga starts since joining Freiburg in the summer of 2025 and he had 12 shots in October's internationals against Serbia and Greece.
