Serbia vs England: Match Preview
This is the headline fixture in Group K. To wrap up the international break, Serbia welcome England, who sit top of the standings.
Catching England seems almost impossible, but Aleksandar Mitrovic and his teammates are determined to keep hold of second place, which would guarantee a spot in the playoffs.
Last Saturday, Serbia had to dig deep but managed a narrow 1-0 win in Latvia. Back home and against tougher opposition, Dragan Stojkovic’s men will be eager to put in a stronger performance.
England, meanwhile, have entered a new era under Thomas Tuchel, and so far, everything seems to be going smoothly.
Sitting comfortably at the top of Group K with 12 points, Harry Kane and his colleagues have won all four of their matches so far without conceding a goal.
Even with the absence of key attacking players such as Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, and Cole Palmer, England have the depth to leave Serbia with a positive result.

Serbia vs England: Our Predictions
England to win @ 1.92
Coming away from Belgrade with a victory in such a fiery atmosphere will be no easy feat. England have shown weaknesses, as seen in their unconvincing 2-0 win over Andorra last Saturday, but on paper they remain far stronger than Serbia. This match is a great opportunity to see if Tuchel’s side can raise their level in a big test, and keep their perfect run going in these qualifiers.
Harry Kane to score anytime @ 2.62
A constant threat with the Three Lions, Harry Kane remains England’s main offensive weapon. As captain and penalty taker, he has already scored three times in these qualifiers. In such an important clash, backing Kane to score anytime looks like a logical and solid choice.
Both teams to score @ 2.05
With Mitrovic and Dusan Vlahovic leading the line, Serbia have the firepower to trouble any defence. Playing at home, Stojkovic’s men should create chances. On the other side, it’s hard to imagine England failing to score with the quality of their attacking options.
