THE PREDICTION
Covid-19 restrictions are expected to leave Serbia without a number of first team players for this World Cup European Qualifier against Republic of Ireland. This would represent a blow for boss Dragan Stojkovic, whose side suffered heartbreak after missing out on qualification for this summer’s European Championships following defeat on penalties to Scotland. However, their opponents have struggled in recent fixtures when it comes to finding the net, with the Boys in Green having failed to score in their last six competitive matches. This could lead to turgid affair, with the visitors expected to keep bodies back in their own half and attempt to soak up pressure with a view to hitting Serbia on the counter attack. With that in mind, it would be a big surprise not to see under 2.5 goals scored in what would be the 19th successive competitive fixture involving Republic of Ireland, a run which stretches back to September 2018.
