Barcelona legend Xavi will eye his first win as the Netherlands coach when he takes this team to Serbia for matchday two in League A of the UEFA Nations League (UNL) competition. This Group A2 match between the fourth-placed ‘Eagles’ and the third-placed ‘Oranje’ could highlight the defensive issues of both teams, with BTTS being our match prediction.
A 2-1 loss to Greece on Thursday put Serbia at the bottom of the standings, while the Netherlands drew 1-1 on the same day, leaving them level on points with Germany.
Despite taking a fourth-minute lead, Serbia lost 2-1 at home to Greece to a stoppage-time goal, extending Serbia’s recent run to seven defeats out of the last ten (W3). The Eagles aim to regain their momentum at home, where they had previously gone unbeaten in six UNL matches (W4, D2) before Thursday.
The Dutch needed a stoppage-time goal to rescue a point against Germany in a 1-1 draw at home. It was a competitive start for Xavi in the dugout, as the Netherlands extended their unbeaten run within 90 minutes to six matches (W3, D3).
Interestingly, the Dutch have now drawn six of their last eight UNL matches (W1, L1) within 90 minutes. Xavi needs to address their away blues, as the Netherlands failed to win their last four away UNL games (D2, L2).

Our Serbia vs Netherlands Prediction
Xavi’s tenure as the Netherlands’ coach started with a gritty draw, but he will eye full points against Serbia. The hosts were beaten on matchday one and will eye a comeback, but their recent record against top nations is a worry, having failed to score in their last six competitive matches against top-ten-ranked nations. That said, Netherlands have struggled defensively, which opens the door for an exciting game.
This is the first ever match between Serbia and the Netherlands, with both teams likely to struggle for a clean sheet. That’s why our Serbia vs Netherlands prediction is BTTS.
