Serbia and Luxembourg will trade tackles at the Stadion Rajko Mitic in a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier on Saturday.
The hosts come into the game on the back of a 4-0 victory over guest participants Qatar in a friendly clash on Wednesday night. Luka Jovic, Dusan Vlahovic and Nikola Milenkovic were all among the goals for Serbia along with a Qatari own goal by Boualem Khoukhi.
Luxembourg picked up a morale-boosting 2-1 victory over Azerbaijan in a FIFA World Cup qualifier on the same night. Mica Pinto and Gerson Rodrigues scored first-half goals to give the Red Lions all three points on home turf.
That victory helped them climb up to third in the table with six points picked up from three matches. Serbia are in second spot in Group A with seven points garnered from three games.
Serbia vs Luxembourg Head-to-Head
This will be the third meeting between the two sides and Serbia were victorious on each of the previous two occasions.
Their last meeting came in a Euro 2020 qualifier when an Aleksandar Mitrovic brace helped Serbia pick up a 3-2 victory on home turf in November 2019.
Luxembourg's victory over Azerbaijan halted a run of three consecutive defeats. Serbia have lost just one of their last 10 matches.
