Klopp's time in the Germany dugout has not started in the best manner, with the head coach drawing with Netherlands 1-1, before suffering a 1-0 loss to Greece on the weekend.
The former Liverpool manager has stressed the importance of patience, insisting that he would rather endure a difficult start than a poor end in the dugout.
There are a number of issues in the national team, with Die Nationalelf struggling to control games without the ball.
Klopp took the unusual approach of naming 44 players in his squad for the three-week international break, though that may benefit him in the months to come as he will have had a chance to assess the suitability of a wide roster of stars.
If changes are made as expected, then it would not be surprising to see the likes of Malick Thiaw and Waldemar Anton come into the backline.
Serbia frustrated the Dutch for extended periods, but they struggled to consistently produce any chances, and they can have no complaints with their 2-1 defeat on Sunday.
That loss was the nation's fourth consecutive defeat in all competitions, and they have also lost each of their past three clashes with European opponents.
A win for the visitors would extend their unbeaten record against their hosts to three games, with Serbia having won one and drawn one of their last two meetings with Germany.
Boss Veljko Paunovic is set to field Lika Jovic as the team's number nine after he found the back of the net against the Netherlands.

Whispers predicts: Germany 2-0 Serbia
Despite Germany's issues, the bookmaker's view them as favourites, pricing a home victory at 2/9 (1.22).
Germany have scored at least two goals in five of their past six away matches, and that could make betting Over 1.5 Goals for Germany at 2/7 (1.29) the way to go.
Serbia have failed to score in four of their last seven away games, so predicting Under 0.5 Goals for Serbia at 19/20 (1.95) may make sense.
Florian Wirtz has struggled for Liverpool, but he is often a creative spark for Germany, and it may be wise to back Florian Wirtz to Assist at 7/4 (2.15).
> Over 1.5 Goals for Germany at 2/7 (1.29) | Likelihood: Probable
> Under 0.5 Goals for Serbia at 19/20 (1.95) | Likelihood: Possible
> Florian Wirtz to Assist at 7/4 (2.15) | Likelihood: Possible
