Rob BlanchetteJun 21, 2017

Spain can afford to rest stars in their match against Serbia on Friday in the 2017 European Under-21 Championship after winning their first two games in Group B.

The Spanish unit swept to victory against Macedonia and Portugal, guaranteeing control of the group in Poland.

Serbia have just one point from their two matches after drawing 2-2 with Macedonia following their defeat to Portugal.

Preview

Spain have begun the tournament with a glut of goals after scoring eight in two games while conceding just once.

Their front line has rattled defences, and Saul Niguez, Marco Asensio and Gerard Deulofeu have performed to the highest level.

Asensio's hat-trick against Macedonia underlined his credibility and potential, and the Real Madrid youngster is in line for a breakout season next term.

Saul has been outstanding in the Atletico Madrid first team, featuring 45 times in La Liga and Europe last term, according to WhoScored.com.

Serbia's last-minute equaliser against Macedonia rescued a point as Uros Djurdjevic fired home to trigger celebrations.

Having conceded four goals in their two games, Serbia will not be expecting much in terms of holding the opposition back. But, if Spain rest players, there is a slim chance there could be a surprise result.

Marko Grujic and Radovan Pankov will both miss the match for Serbia through suspension, per WhoScored.

Prediction

Even if their big guns are benched, Spain will want to achieve a perfect record through the group stage.

The chemistry of their attack has been the highlight of the tournament so far, and Asensio's maturity and accuracy has been spellbinding.

Serbia's forwards simply do not have the quality to hurt their opponents, and their motivation will be compromised after a poor start.

The team lineups on the day will dictate whether the Serbs have any chance of success.

Predicted Score: Spain win 3-0
