Ellis named a preliminary squad earlier this month, but has now trimmed the squad to 23 players.
The South African tactician is well aware of the threat posed by the Serbians.
"Serbia beat Russia recently and Russia beat them as well. They are very physical and technically they are very good," Ellis told safa.net.
'They are also very quick, which will challenge our defense, and that is what we want. They have a lot of wing play and a lot of combination play, and that is what we want.
"We will know it is going to be similar against Sweden, with the wing play and the height upfront. So we have got to make sure that we are organised."
