Serbia vs England Preview and Team News
Serbia Team News
For Serbia, a win over England will be special, as they’re ranked 32nd by FIFA, 28 spots below their opponents. Fortunately, they have no injuries in their squad, which will allow head coach Dragan Stojkovic to field the XI he believes best equipped to beat the Three Lions.
With talismanic striker Aleksandar Mitrovic operating up front, Serbia don’t have any problems in breaking into opposition defenses, and England will need to stay alert. Alongside Mitrovic usually plays Dusan Vlahovic, formerly of Fiorentina and currently of Juventus. The pair are capable of unsettling any back line.

Both players like to run behind defenders and then take up inspiring positions just outside or inside the box. Their sharpshooting skills are widely praised, as is their ability to take on opponents comfortably in one-on-one situations. This duo operates so well with each other that they’re known to set each other up and create layoffs, too.
Serbia are in good form, having gone unbeaten in their last five matches, three of which they’ve won.
Serbia predicted lineup vs England (3-5-2): Petrovic; Pavlovic, Milenkovic, Veljkovic; Kostic, Katai, Lukic, Ilic, Zivkovic; Mitrovic, Vlahovic.
England Team News
Sitting fourth in the FIFA standings, England shouldn’t find it too difficult to get past Serbia. However, this advantage is evident only on paper, where their squad look far stronger. On the field, things can change quite drastically.
Manager Thomas Tuchel, who has been entrusted with the job of taking the Three Lions into the World Cup, is known for his possession-based style. The German coach likes to use his midfielders to bomb forward and create diversions while his attackers find the space and width to express themselves.

In defense, Tuchel is well-served by the likes of Daniel Burn and Marc Guehi, who are quick on the ball and can dispossess opposition strikers in the blink of an eye.
The former Chelsea boss, who knows the Premier League well, faces a selection challenge in attack, since everyone is fit and available apart from Bukayo Saka. Eberechi Eze and Harry Kane are expected to start, nonetheless.
England won their last game 2-0 against Andorra, which takes them to four wins in their last five outings.
England predicted lineup vs Serbia (4-2-3-1): Pickford; Lewis-Skelly, Burn, Guehi, James; Rice, Anderson; Rashford, Eze, Madueke; Kane.
Serbia vs England Prediction
- Pick: England to win
- Odds: -152 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Serbia 1-2 England
England have the upper hand over their opponents, and we expect them to win. While their side have a lot of inexperienced players, the likes of Harry Kane, Jordan Henderson, and Jordan Pickford are expected to guide them through the rigours. Moreover, manager Tuchel’s vision gives the Three Lions a strong platform to approach this fixture with confidence.
For Serbia, scoring goals shouldn’t be too difficult with Vlahovic and Mitrovic leading the line, but how they deal with loose balls in midfield and the presence of the English attackers inside their box will dictate the rest of the match. The hosts might want to keep playing with a three-man defense since it gives them a lot of depth in their own half.
Serbia vs England Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: England to score the last goal
- Odds: -179 (20Bet)
England should score the final goal. The visitors are renowned for pushing games right to the end and believing in themselves until the final whistle. So, even if they trail their opponents early on, we expect the Three Lions to drag things back in their favor and win it by scoring a late goal.
Manager Tuchel is an expert hand when it comes to substitutions, and this usually gives his team an advantage over their opponents, who don’t have a lot of depth on their bench. With Kane, Eze, and Rashford plying their trade in this match, England will be well-served with goal scorers in all shapes and sizes right through to the 90th minute.
