On the other hand, Serbia was in action in early June when they lost to Japan 1-0 in a friendly fixture as Ito scored the crucial goal in the second half.
Serbia will be looking at this fixture with interest as they have been inconsistent in recent weeks due to which a positive result here is the need of the hour.
