When it comes to the formation that Serbia manager Dragan Stojković will go with, there is much debate. He recently came out in a 4-3-3 in the team’s friendly against Bahrain. However, Serbia was doing extremely well in the Nations League, playing out of a 3-4-1-2.
Regardless of the formation, the strength of Serbia will be its attack and midfield. The team boasts three great options at striker with Dusan Vlahovic (Juventus), Luka Jovic (Fiorentina), and Aleksandar Mitrovic (Fulham). However, the midfield maybe even deeper, with names like Sergej Milinkovic-Savic (Lazio), Dusan Tadic (Ajax), Ivan Ilic (Verona), and Nemandja Gudelj (Sevilla).
The biggest question mark for Serbia will be its defense, led by Fiorentina center-back Nikola Milenkovic. The unit is the weakest link and will need to stay strong throughout the tournament. This is why many believe that Serbia may return to the 3-at-the-back formation in order to solidify one of the holes in the squad.
Despite not getting a ton of game time for his club, starting goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic looks to be in good form heading into the tournament. In his two champions league appearances for Sevilla, Marko Dmitrovic kept two clean sheets.
