Germany Faces Crucial Nations League Clash Against Serbia with Klopp's Squad in Belgrade

Germany's national football team, under head coach Jürgen Klopp, is set for a pivotal Nations League match against Serbia on November 13, 2026, at the Rajko Mitić Stadium in Belgrade. This encounter is vital as Germany currently sits third in their group with five points and needs a win to maintain hopes for advancing to the playoffs.

The match marks Brajan Gruda's debut for the DFB-Elf, as the winger from RB Leipzig starts on the right flank. The German lineup features captain Joshua Kimmich in midfield alongside Aleksandar Pavlovic and Florian Wirtz, orchestrating play behind striker Kai Havertz. Defensively, the line-up includes Jonathan Tah and Malick Thiaw in central defense, with Nico Schlotterbeck surprisingly benched. Goalkeeper duties will be handled by Marc-André ter Stegen, Klopp's first-choice keeper.

The German side currently leads Serbia 2-0 at halftime in Belgrade, building on an earlier 2-0 victory in the opening match at the Allianz Arena. Despite Klopp's modest beginnings with only one win in four matches, including a recent loss to Greece, the team is focused on securing progression in the Nations League.

Broadcast details for the match are clear: it will be shown live on RTL and streamed via RTL+. Fans can also follow an active live ticker on ran.de.

Environmental factors have influenced fan attendance, as UEFA sanctions have restricted the number of spectators permitted in the stadium.

Additionally, Felix Nmecha, who will start on the bench, has agreed to refrain from his previously controversial "Kronen-Jubel" goal celebration due to its association with a criticized evangelical network, an issue addressed directly by Klopp.

Germany’s upcoming fixtures promise a decisive battle, especially with an anticipated crucial match against the Netherlands looming in Berlin. For now, the team's main priority remains securing vital points in Serbia to keep playoff ambitions alive under Klopp's management.
