Match Overview: High Stakes in Belgrade

Germany visits Stadion Rajko Mitić in Belgrade on Friday, Nov. 13, 2026, for a pivotal UEFA Nations League Group B fixture. Kickoff is set for 8:45 p.m. CET (7:45 p.m. GMT, 2:45 p.m. ET, 11:45 a.m. PT, and 6:45 a.m. AEDT on Saturday in Australia), according to CNET's live-stream guide.

Under head coach Jürgen Klopp, Germany enters the match in third place in Group B with only one win from its first four games. The team sits three points behind the Netherlands and Greece, per CNET. A poor result in this penultimate group match could see Germany miss the quarterfinals entirely.

Serbia, managed by Veljko Paunović, sits at the bottom of the group having failed to pick up a single point. The hosts are playing for pride and to avoid relegation to the tournament's second tier.

Group B Standings and Qualification Picture

According to CNET's reporting, the Group B landscape entering Matchday 5 is as follows:

  • Netherlands and Greece lead the group, level on points, three points ahead of Germany.
  • Germany sits in third place with one win from four matches.
  • Serbia remains bottom with zero points from four matches.

Only the group winner advances to the quarterfinals. Germany trails the co-leaders by three points with two matches remaining. A win in Belgrade would pull Germany level on points with the Netherlands and Greece ahead of their head-to-head meeting later the same evening; a draw or loss would likely end Germany's quarterfinal hopes. Serbia's zero points all but confirm relegation, though a positive result could mathematically extend their survival hopes by one more round.

Context: Klopp's Early Tenure Under Scrutiny

Life under new boss Jürgen Klopp "hasn't gone quite as smoothly for Germany as many would have expected," CNET reports. The team's solitary win from four Nations League outings has left them fighting for their tournament life months into his tenure. Friday's match represents the most consequential fixture of Klopp's early reign, with a result short of victory raising immediate questions about the project's trajectory ahead of World Cup qualifying.

For Serbia and Paunović, the focus is on organizational discipline and salvaging pride in a campaign that has yielded no points. The fixture pits a desperate German side needing a win against a Serbian team with nothing to lose in the standings.

What Comes Next

If Germany secures three points in Belgrade, the final matchday becomes a de facto quarterfinal play-off, with Germany's fate intertwined with the result of the Netherlands–Greece clash. A draw or loss would shift the narrative immediately to the viability of the Klopp experiment before World Cup qualifying begins. For Serbia, a positive result offers a measure of sporting dignity and a platform for the next Nations League cycle in League B.

Kickoff is 8:45 p.m. CET on Friday, Nov. 13. The table, the tenure, and the tournament life are all on the line in Belgrade.
