15': GERMANY 0-0 SERBIA

Tom Bischof threads the ball to Woltemade inside the box, but his attempt towards the bottom-right corner is deflected away by Džodić. The following corner ultimately lands at the feet of Waldemar Anton, but his left-footed volley is hit well out to the left for a goal kick to the Serbs.

12': GERMANY 0-0 SERBIA

Scherhant crosses the ball into the centre of the box from the left side, and Woltemade has a free header - but misses metres wide to the left. Of all the chances that Germany has had so far, that has been the best of them - with not much happening in their own half, the hosts are controlling the pace of play at the moment.

9': GERMANY 0-0 SERBIA

Pavlović himself has a past of playing for the Serbian youth national teams; he was called up to a series of friendlies with the U18 national team in 2021, before ultimately making a switch to Germany at the U20 level. This is his sixteenth appearance for Germany at the international level, and it comes in his hometown, at the home venue of the one club he has played his whole career with - FC Bayern.

6': GERMANY 0-0 SERBIA

Mittelstädt finds Derry Scherhant on the right side of the box with a cross from the left side of the Serbian third; the SC Freiburg striker knocks the ball down before playing it back to Aleksandar Pavlović, who sends a powerful right-footed shot just wide of the bottom-right corner.

4': GERMANY 0-0 SERBIA

Maximilian Mittelstädt goes for a right-footed shot from distance, but the VfB Stuttgart left-back does not test Petrović too much - blasting the ball well over the top-left corner and out.

2': GERMANY 0-0 SERBIA

Serge Gnabry takes a pass into the right side of the Serbian third from Derry Scherhant. He notices Florian Wirtz darting into open space close to the goal area and knocks the ball his way, past Stefan Džodić - but Wirtz slightly mistimes his run and can only tap it with the tip of his left boot as it skips to Đorđe Petrović.

And away we go in a crucial Nations League clash! Serbia, in blue, kick off the match and will go right to left in the opening term. Germany, in white, will go left to right when on the attack.

The two sides are out of the tunnel and onto the field at Allianz Arena. "Bože pravde" („Боже правде“) will play first over the loudspeakers, followed by "Deutschlandlied". Then, the coin toss and kickoff as the match gets underway.

Since Serbia started UEFA competition in its current form, they are 1-1-1 against Germany - with a 1-2 loss in a 2008 international friendly, a 1-0 win in the group stage of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, and a 1-1 draw in an international friendly in 2019. Luka Jović, who scored the lone goal in the latter meeting, is starting as one of the two strikers alongside the nation's most-capped player and captain, Dušan Tadić.
