Serbia vs England Betting Preview
Serbia secured their spot in Euro 2024 by finishing second in Group G behind Hungary. While they have offensive prowess, questions remain about their defensive abilities. They suffered two defeats and a draw in the group stage of the 2022 World Cup, conceding eight goals.
Dragan Stojkovic's men wrapped up preparations with a 3-0 success away to Sweden few days ago. Anyway, the Eagles had high hopes for a successful run in the 2022 World Cup but were harshly exposed on the international stage. They exited at the group stage as they suffered two defeats and managed only one draw, conceding eight goals.
England is eager to prove themselves after their 0-1 defeat to Iceland at Wembley in their previous outing and an unconvincing 3-0 victory over Bosnia Herzegovina earlier this month.
Prior to that, they topped their qualifying group, ahead of Italy - who famously beat the Three Lions on penalties at Wembley in the Euro 2020 final. During the qualifying campaign, Gareth Southgate's men showed their strength with six wins and two draws in a group that also included Ukraine, North Macedonia, and Malta.
Best Odds
England enter this game as heavy favorite, the best price on the Three Lions to win is 1/2 with William Hill. Midnite offer 7/1 for Serbia to upset the odds while the draw is backable at 15/4 with Betway.Probable Line-Ups
Serbia (3-5-2): V. Milinkovic-Savic; Milenkovic, Veljkovic, Pavlovic; Zivkovic, S. Milinkovic-Savic, Tadic, Lukic, Kostic; Mitrovic, Vlahovic.Dragan Stojkovic has no injury concerns affecting his team selection heading into the tournament. He can rely upon a front three that can trouble any defense - Aleksandar Mitrovic and Dušan Vlahovic, with Dušan Tadic pulling the strings behind them. the Fenerbahce's star will be partnered by Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Sasa Lukic, while Andrija Zivkovic and Filip Kostic will play as wing-backs. At the back, Nikola Milenkovic will be flanked by Strahinja Pavlovic and Milos Veljkovic.
England (4-2-3-1): Pickford; Walker, Stones, Guehi, Trippier; Alexander-Arnold, Rice; Saka, Bellingham, Foden; Kane.
England are expected to be without Luke Shaw as the Manchester United left-back continues his recovery from a hamstring injury. Kieran Trippier will fill in on the left side of defence in his absence. John Stones has recovered from the minor illness which kept him out of training earlier this week while Jude Bellingham is back after missing warm-up matches due to his involvement in Real Madrid's Champions League triumph. The Ballon D'Or candidate will form the offensive midfielder trio behind Harry Kane, alongside Bukayo Saka and Phil Foden. With Harry Maguire missing the tournament due to an injury, Marc Guehi is expected to start as centre-back, while Trent Alexander-Arnold will partner Declan Rice in midfield.
Serbia v England Predictions
England have won their opening game just once in their last eight European Championship campaigns.
Furthermore, there has been a lot of talk about England’s potential defensive weaknesses in the build-up to Euro 2024 but, with plenty of attacking talent, the Three Lions should be good enough to make a winning start.
A third of Serbia's qualifying goals came from headers - the highest ratio of any of the 24 teams at Euro 2024 - meaning that England could struggle on set pieces as they are without their aerial dominator in Harry Maguire.
As a result, the Both Teams To Score might be a smart bet while our pick in the correct score market is "England to win 3-1".
