Serbia vs. England Predictions

Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Serbia vs. England at EURO 2024

Where: Veltins Arena, Gelsenkirchen, Germany
When: Monday, June 17, 03:00 AM

The Three Lions have been labeled as the top favorite for the title in Germany this summer. Their path towards glory starts against Serbia, who finally reached the European championship following 24 years. The Eagles have solid names in their team, but on the other hand, they aren’t consistent at all, having problems finding their game. As for the English unit, they are massive favorites ahead of the clash, not only due to their quality but their recent form as well.

Serbia vs. England Preview

Serbia

The Serbian head coach, Dragan Stojkovic, admitted that his team has problems in defense and needs to figure out the formation before the start of the EURO. A lot of things need to be corrected in Serbian football overall, at the moment, but due to a very weak group, this team managed to reach Germany.

Only one victory in the past five games says enough, and even that was against Cyprus. The loss to Austria, 2-1, was a huge slap in the face, and it massively deflated the atmosphere among the fans.

The team doesn’t have too many stars, and Juve’s Dusan Vlahovic and Al-Hilal’s Aleksandar Mitrovic are the top names on the roster. By the way, there were some debates in the public back home about Stojkovic’s decisions, suggesting that he had pressure to put some players who aren’t good enough for the national team.

England

England showed its power against Bosnia, packing three goals in a short time, thus making a solid intro for the start of the tournament. They haven’t lost during the qualifiers, posting only two ties, one against Ukraine and the other in the last round in North Macedonia.

Since the World Cup ended, and the failure against France in the quarterfinals, England lost only one match, which was a friendly international against Brazil at Wembley, 0-1.

According to many, this team has it all, apart from the head coach. A considerable number of experts suggest that Gareth Southgate isn’t the right person for this job and doesn’t have the needed credentials to lead such a strong team.

Serbia and England never met, but there were some contests between Yugoslavia and England in the past, though that was several decades ago, so those results aren’t that relevant.

Serbia vs. England Predictions

Serbia is at least one class beneath England, and our pick here would be for Three Lions to solve this rival easily. The odds of them winning and covering a 1.5-goal spread are solid, and we have to go for it.
