Serbia have no other choice but to win on Friday given they trail Germany by five points, though it is understandable that fans are fearful of being demoted to Nations League B after two campaigns in League A.
Boss Veljko Paunovic will be alarmed that his side come into their next clash having been defeated in each of their last six games in all competitions.
The hosts have also only won once in four meetings with the visitors, a stretch in which they lost twice and drew once.
Serbia striker Aleksandar Mitrovic will hope to earn his 107th cap for the national team, and he will also hope to score his 65th goal for his country.
Klopp has only overseen one win in his four games as Germany boss, with the former Liverpool manager guiding the national team to a 2-0 win at home against Serbia on October 10.
His latest result was a goalless stalemate with Greece on October 4, and they currently find themselves three points behind both second-placed Greece and first-placed Netherlands.
The visitors will benefit from the fact the two teams above them will face each other on Friday, though they will be unable to secure promotion if they lose and the Dutch pick up at least a point.
Germany will hope that Florian Wirtz's improved form in the Premier League can carry over into international football after an impressive period for Liverpool.

Whispers predicts: Serbia 1-2 Germany
The visitors are seen favourably by the bookmakers, who have priced a Germany win at 1/4 (1.25).
It would make sense to back Over 1.5 Goals for Germany at 3/10 (1.3) given Serbia have conceded at least two goals in each of their last six games.
Both teams have scored in six of Germany's last nine games, so perhaps it could be worthwhile to back Both Teams to Score at 8/11 (1.73).
Considering Florian Wirtz has produced three assists in his last 516 minutes on the pitch for club and country, it may be sensible to predict Florian Wirtz to Assist at 2/1 (3).
> Over 1.5 Goals for Germany at 3/10 (1.3) | Likelihood: Probable
> Both Teams to Score at 8/11 (1.73) | Likelihood: Possible
> Florian Wirtz to Assist at 2/1 (3) | Likelihood: Possible
