Serbie – Grèce

Recent form · Written before the match

Greece defeated Scotland 3-0 away on September 10, 2026, in a playoff, a result that indicates positive recent momentum but does not directly measure its level against Serbia. No sufficiently complete official record of the two teams’ latest matches, including opponents, dates, venues, and rest periods, is available.

Shooting, xG, possession, and pressing statistics are not available in a comparable form. Serbia will play this opening match at home, at Rajko Mitić Stadium in Belgrade.

Head-to-head · Written before the match

The documented head-to-head meetings are old: Greece 0-2 Serbia, a friendly on November 18, 2014; Serbia 0-1 Greece, a friendly on August 11, 2010. These results have limited prédictive relevance because they involved different squads, different coaches, and friendly matches.

Absences and returns

No medical absence or suspension is confirmed before the time limit. A une source spécialisée profile mentions a hamstring injury for Mihailo Ivanović, but this information does not constitute confirmation from the federation or club and does not establish his absence.

Detailed medical status for both teams is unavailable.

Context & news

In the scenario favorable to Serbia, home advantage and the presence of called-up players such as Vlahović, Jović, Tadić, Sergej Milinković-Savić, Lukić and Kostić could favor crosses, set pieces and occupation of the penalty area. This assessment remains hypothetical, as call-ups prove neither starting selections nor fitness.

In the scenario favorable to Greece, a compact defensive block, quick transitions and the mobility of players such as Karetsas, Konstantelias, Tzolis and Tzolakis could disrupt Serbia’s build-up. However, Greek resistance against a Serbian team at home is not documented by comparable data.

No ranking or first-leg score exists before this opening matchday; any rotation related to the four matches between 24 September and 6 October remains hypothetical.
