Key stats

  • England are unbeaten in their last 37 World Cup qualifying matches (W29 D8) – last WCQ defeat was vs Ukraine (10/10/09, L 0-1, away). This is the longest current unbeaten streak of any European team.
  • England have won their last eight World Cup qualifying matches without conceding a goal.
  • England have not lost at home in a World Cup qualifying match since a 0-1 defeat against Germany in October 2000. Their home record since then is P31 W28 D3.
  • England have kept 22 clean sheets in their last 27 World Cup qualifying matches.
  • Harry Kane has scored 23 goals in his 20 appearances in World Cup qualifying matches.
  • Serbia have lost only three of their last 27 World Cup qualifying matches (W17 D7).

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
