Belgium vs Serbia kick-off time & stadium
Date: November 15, 2023
Kick-off time: 12:45 pm ET
Venue: King Baudouin Stadium
The international friendly match between Belgium and Serbia will be played at the King Baodouin Stadium in the City of Brussels, Belgium.
It will kick off at 12:45 pm ET on November 15 in the United States (US).
Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne and Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois remain sidelined through injuries, while Everton's Amadou Onana is back from a suspension.
With Charles De Ketelaere also out injured, Jeremy Doku, Lois Openda, Dodi Lukebakio and Leandro Trossard will all battle to feature in attack, although Romelu Lukaku should lead the front line.
Serbia boss Dragan Stojkovic will be without the services of Al-Hilal midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic on account of injury.
So Sasa Lukic and Nemanja Gudelj are likely to partner in the middle of the park, with Milinkovic-Savic linking with Dusan Vlahovic and Dusan Tadic in the final third.
Filip Kostic should be able to offer assistance from the left side.
Two European powerhouses, Belgium and Serbia, will clash at Stade Roi Baudouin in Bruxelles today in a 2023 International Friendly game that promises to be an exciting game. Fans can expect an entertaining and unpredictable game as two of Europe’s top teams bring some of the best players to the game like Romelu Lukaku, Yannick Carrasco and Dušan Tadić.
Belgium has a perfect record in 2023 with six wins, one draw and a game declared ‘abandoned’ against Sweden after a terrorist incident outside the stadium, that game ended 1-1.
Serbia won a recent game as part of the 2024 EURO qualifying round against Montenegro by 3-1. So far their record in 2023 is six victories of which two are international friendly wins against United States 2-1 and Jordan 3-2.
Belgium and Serbia play for the 2023 International Friendly on Wednesday, November 15 at Stade Roi Baudouin in Bruxelles. The game is expected to be a closely contested affair, with both teams possessing attacking quality and defensive prowess. Belgium’s attacking flair will be tested against Serbia’s resolute defense, while Serbia will need to find a way to penetrate Belgium’s well-organized backline led by Jan Vertonghen and Timothy Castagne.
With only four days until Serbia hosts Bulgaria in a game that will decide its Euro 2024 qualification hopes, it seems highly unlikely Dragan Stojkovic will risk his best XI in Brussels.
The Eagles know a win on Sunday will be enough to clinch them a place in Germany next year, while anything less will leave the team—currently second in Group G—in a state of limbo.
Nevertheless, Stojkovic will be eager to keep his squad match-ready, and a run-out at the Stade Roi Baudouin provides an opportunity to test the ranks against a world-class opponent.
Belgium is already assured of a seventh European championship appearance after guaranteeing a top-two finish in its pool.
While Tedesco’s side has been almost faultless in recent months and is yet to lose in 2023, Serbia has won two and lost two of its last four outings.
Both of those came in qualifying clashes against Hungary, giving Belgium the blueprint it needs to know how to get the better of its Eastern European opponent.
The hosts will return to action for the first time since their abandoned game against Sweden in October, having already qualified for next year's tournament, while their visitors' bid for qualification rests on Sunday's meeting with Bulgaria.
Belgium will return to action in their capital city on Wednesday after the early abandonment of their last home outing against Sweden last month, as the contest was brought to an end at half time following the tragic shooting of two civilians near the stadium.
The two nations were tied at a goal apiece at the time, as Romelu Lukaku had drawn the Red Devils level from the penalty spot on the hour-mark after Viktor Gyokeres's early opener for the visitors, and it would then be announced that it would be settled as a draw as opposed to being replayed.
Prior to that abandonment, under the new management of Domenico Tedesco following Roberto Martinez's departure, Belgium had already done enough to book their place in a third straight European Championship group stage, as they picked up five wins and a draw from the first six qualifying games, scoring 16 goals along the way while only conceding three at the other end.
Indeed, after their disappointing exit from the World Cup group stage late last year, Tedesco has inspired an eight-match unbeaten run in all competitions, and that will now be put to the test against a Serbia side who the Red Devils last met in 2013, when they completed a double over Wednesday's visitors in World Cup qualifying.
