Team Form and Analysis:
Serbia enters this match with a strong start to their qualifying campaign, with four wins and a draw. The hosts are unbeaten in their last seven competitive games and have an impressive home record. While their performances at major tournaments have been underwhelming, they have a strong squad with a number of key players who will be looking to get a historic result against England.
England, meanwhile, has been dominant in their qualifying campaign, winning all four of their matches. The Three Lions are coming off a labored 2-0 victory against Andorra and are looking to put on a more convincing performance in Belgrade. Under new manager Thomas Tuchel, England is looking to prove their credentials and cement their place at the top of the group.
Head-to-Head:
The historical head-to-head record between these two nations is in favor of England, who have won their last nine successive competitive meetings against Serbia. Their most recent encounter, in the Euro 2024 group stage, resulted in a narrow 1-0 victory for England.
Player to Watch:
Serbia: All eyes will be on their key attacking players, including Dušan Vlahović and Aleksandar Mitrović. Vlahović has been in sensational goal-scoring form for his country and will be a major threat to the English defense. Mitrović, the all-time leading goal scorer for Serbia, is a physical presence and a clinical finisher.
England: The focus for England will be on their captain, Harry Kane. The veteran striker is the all-time leading goal scorer for his country and has a strong record against Serbia. He will be looking to add to his tally and help his team secure a crucial victory.
Prediction:
This match is expected to be a tight and highly competitive affair, with both teams looking to avoid a defeat that could jeopardize their chances of a direct spot at the World Cup. While England has the superior squad depth and a perfect qualifying record, Serbia’s home advantage and their excellent recent form make them a formidable opponent. A hard-fought draw seems like a very plausible outcome.
