Serbia head coach Dragan Stojkovic is facing some critical selection dilemmas up front for Tuesday's Euro 2024 Group C finale against Denmark at the Allianz Arena.
The Eagles cannot finish first no matter what happens on June 25, but they can still pip the Danes and Slovenia to the runners-up position thanks to Luka Jovic's dramatic intervention against the latter.
The 26-year-old headed home a 95th-minute equaliser in that 1-1 draw and received high praise from his manager, who has up until now paired Dusan Vlahovic with Aleksandar Mitrovic to little effect.
Stojkovic should therefore not be averse to shuffling the pack for the final matchday in Group C, but Jovic's heroics are unlikely to earn him a starting role over all-time top scorer Mitrovic, who should be retained over Vlahovic.
The Juventus man is at risk of being demoted for Udinese's Lazar Samardzic - if reports are to be believed - while captain Dusan Tadic could also provide offensive support in a 3-4-2-1 formation.
Ivan Ilic and Sasa Lukic' smidfield partnership will apparently be broken up by Nemanja Gudelj replacing the former, with Andrija Zivkovic and Filip Mladenovic operating as wing-backs; the latter is covering for Filip Kostic, who remains with the squad despite his knee injury.
However, Serbia's rearguard should remain untouched, as Milos Veljkovic, Nikola Milenkovic and Strahinja Pavlovic act as the three-man wall in front of Predrag Rajkovic.
Serbia possible starting lineup:
Rajkovic; Veljkovic, Pavlovic, Milenkovic; Zivkovic, Gudelj, Lukic, Mladenovic; Tadic, Samardzic; Mitrovic
