England vs Serbia prediction
England started the Thomas Tuchel reign in underwhelming form but recent performances have brought life to the Three Lions’ fans. They hammered Serbia by five goals to nil in Belgrade in September before a 3-0 win over Wales and a 5-0 victory over Latvia last month.
They now face a Serbia side that suffered a potentially damning defeat to neighbours Albania last month, leading to Dragan Stojkovic then deciding to resign immediately after the game. As they fight for second place in Group K, they got back on track with a 3-1 victory over Andorra.
Serbia may find themselves naturally improving in the post-Stojkovic era but England remain favourites to ease to another victory in London this week.
England vs Serbia tip: England to win to nil
