Serbia will be hoping to beat Hungary to the top of Group G standings as they prepare to host Montenegro up next in the Euro qualifiers on Tuesday.
Dusan Vlahovic scored a brace as Serbia beat Montenegro in the away fixture back in March 2023 but since then, Tuesday's hosts have only managed one win in four qualifiers. This has allowed Hungary to become the current group leaders with 13 points from five matches, as opposed to the Serbians' 10 points from six games.
Montenegro's two wins in this group so far have come against Bulgaria who are currently at the bottom of the table. Those are the only two wins they have managed in their last 10 games across all competitions, including friendlies. Anything other than a defeat would be a great result for the visitors.

Team news & squads
Serbia team news
Serbia is likely to stick with their 3-4-3 formation, although some alterations in personnel by Stojkovic could be anticipated.
In a somewhat unexpected move, Dusan Tadic did not feature in the starting lineup against Hungary and was only introduced during halftime. He is anticipated in the starting eleven for this game.
Dusan Vlahovic, who scored twice when these two teams met earlier in the qualifiers, chose to stay at his club to continue recovering from his injury.
Serbia predicted XI: Milinkovic-Savic; Erakovic, Milenkovic, Pavlovic; Zivkovic, Terzic, Gudelj, Milinkovic-Savic; Duricic, Tadic, Mitrovic.
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Rajkovic, Milinkovic-Savic, Petrovic, Radunovic |

Montenegro team news
Montenegro will be missing Igor Vujacic due to his red card suspension after two bookable offenses against Bulgaria last month. In his place, Zarko Tomasevic is expected to step into the defensive role.
Montenegro stands as the team with the second-lowest number of goals in Group G. Nikola Krstovic and Stevan Jovetic will need to deliver in the final third for the team to stand any chance of troubling the Serbian defence.
Montenegro predicted XI: Mijatovic; Tomasevic, Savic, Sipcic; Marusic, Vukcevic, Jankovic, Bakic, Loncar; Krstovic, Jovetic.
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Mijatovic, Petkovic, Licina |
| Defenders: | Savic, Tomasevic, Marusic, Radunovic, Vukcevic, Milovic, Tucic, Rubezic |
| Midfielders: | Jovovic, Jankovic, Kosovic, Bakic, Vukcevic, Raickovic, Loncar, Camaj, Radulovic, Kuc, Bubanja |
| Forwards: | Jovetic, Mugosa, Osmajic, Krstovic, Bakic |
