The Eagles have now picked up three wins and one draw from their last four group games, having kicked off their campaign with a 1-0 loss to Norway in June.
Serbia have picked up four points from a possible six away from home in the Nations League and will be looking to maintain their unbeaten run on the road and confirm their promotion.
