1X2 Market Breakdown
Serbia to Win (Odds: 2.88)
Playing at home, Serbia will look to capitalize on their strong record at Stadion Rajko Mitić. They stunned Spain in a shock result last year, proving they can rise to the occasion. However, their trust rating of 1.73/10 suggests that backing them outright carries significant risk.

Draw (Odds: 3.25)
With 23.2% of UEFA Nations League matches ending level, a draw is a realistic outcome. Serbia and Austria both have disciplined defensive setups, and with our AI predicting a 0-0 first half, a stalemate could be on the cards.

Austria to Win (Odds: 2.5)
Austria pulled off an impressive 1-1 away draw against Belgium in 2023, showing they can handle tough away fixtures. Their projected 55% possession and 13 total shots suggest they will have more of the ball, but whether they can convert that into goals remains to be seen.

Best Bet: Under 2.5 Goals (Odds: 1.73)
Our AI strongly leans towards a low-scoring affair, with a predicted final score of 1-0. Serbia’s expected 11 shots with only 2 on target and Austria’s 4 shots on target indicate that clear-cut chances may be limited. Historically, only 47.9% of UEFA Nations League matches exceed 2.5 goals, reinforcing the under bet as the safest option.

Key Match Stats & Predictions
- Possession: Serbia 45% – Austria 55%
- Total Shots: Serbia 11 – Austria 13
- Shots on Target: Serbia 2 – Austria 4
- Corners: 3 each
- Yellow Cards: Serbia 2 – Austria 1

Final Verdict
This match is shaping up to be a tight, tactical battle rather than an open attacking contest. With both sides capable of grinding out results, a 1-0 Serbia win or a low-scoring draw seems the most likely outcome. Bettors should consider under 2.5 goals as the best value bet, while those looking for a riskier play could back Serbia to edge it at home.
