Preview
For both teams this is their first rugby test match for the second half of the 2012-13 season. Neither are placed well in the competition and a win today is vital for both to keep them away from the relegation zone.

Denmark is in a slightly better position as they have more games in hand and the home game is certainly an advantage. Denmark also has an important away game next weekend against Israel. A home win is vital to travel with confidence.

Serbia’s results have been up and down. They began this season with a loss to the newly promoted Israel away. They then won well against Latvia at home but lost at home to Andorra.

‘Alex Mihajlovic ,33-year odl lock (1.99m/118kg) return in Serbian team after six years long pause.’
