Klopp team in front of a children's backdrop - How to watch Serbia against Germany live on TV

The German national soccer team is under considerable pressure to succeed in the Nations League this Friday evening. In order to maintain their chances of reaching the quarter-finals of the competition, Serbia urgently needs a win against the pointless bottom of Group A2. Kick-off at the Rajko Mitic Stadium, Red Star Belgrade's arena, is at 8:45 p.m.

The game will be broadcast on free TV on RTL. Laura Wontorra and Lothar Matthäus will report live from Serbia from 8:15 p.m. The game will then be commented on by Wolff-Christoph Fuss, with Matthäus acting as co-commentator at his side. The game is also running on the paid streaming service RTL+. Alternatively, you can follow the German team's game here in the live ticker.

Heading into the last two matchdays, national coach Jürgen Klopp's DFB team is in third place in their group, three points behind the leading duo of the Netherlands and Greece, who have the same number of points. Klopp and his team still have to push one of the two opponents out of the top two places in order to reach the quarter-finals. Germany won the first leg against Serbia 2-0. It is the only win under Klopp so far. On Monday (8.45 p.m./ARD) there is the second leg against the Netherlands in Berlin at the end of the group phase.

Due to the exclusion of spectators against the Serbian association, the game at the Rajko Mitic Stadium will only take place in front of a small crowd. Only groups of children under 15 years of age accompanied by teachers or trainers are permitted as visitors. 50 German fans are also allowed to be in the stadium via a DFB contingent. 5,000 spectators are expected. The sanctions against Serbia were triggered by racist and discriminatory incidents in the Serbs' most recent Nations League games against Greece (1:2) and the Netherlands (1:2).

In Serbia, Klopp is without the 17-year-old Gladbacher Wael Mohya, whose nomination was the biggest surprise. The offensive player will not be part of the matchday squad. Klopp had to leave one player out because he had nominated 24 players, but is only allowed to nominate 23 players for each game.

Klopp had already made it clear during the nomination that Mohya had been invited by him primarily to train and get to know each other. “We’ll take him to see,” Klopp had said. Striker Niclas Füllkrug, who leads the Bundesliga top scorer list with nine goals, is back with the DFB team. A deployment of the Bremen attacker is considered likely.
