England v Serbia (November 13th): Match Preview for a Bet365 Featured Fixture

It's England v Serbia on Thursday night and there's plenty to look forward to with England already assured of a place at next summer's World Cup Finals.

England secured their place in next year's World Cup Finals in the last set of international fixtures when a win over Latvia, combined with Serbia and Albania drawing, meant England could not be caught at the top of Group K.

The Three Lions became the first European team to confirm their spot at the finals next summer and it means that Thomas Tuchel's men have no pressure on their shoulders heading into their final two fixtures, the final game away at Albania but before that, they face Serbia at Wembley with the visitors still very much hoping they can finish second behind England in the Group and earn a spot in the playoffs.

Let's now take a look at some of the featured betting lines available on this game from bet365 Sport.

England v Serbia – Recent Form & Momentum

England have been in solid form under Thomas Tuchel. They’ve racked up convincing six wins in World Cup qualifying, including a 5-0 demolition away to today's opposition Serbia, and are yet to concede a goal in the group. They followed that win with another 5-0 away victory, this time in Latvia, which saw Harry Kane score twice along with Anthony Gordon, Eberechi Eze and an own goal completing the scoring for England. The result meant they clinched qualification to the World Cup. With the pressure off for these last two qualifiers, it will be interesting to see what team Tuchel picks with Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden making a return to the squad.

Serbia, are under real pressure from neighbours Albania in the battle to finish second to England. The Serbians have played six games like Albania, but are a point behind and know that their neighbours face Andorra at the same time they face England, but then Albania must face England at home in their final group game. A point or win here would be a massive result for new manager Veljko Paunovic, who took over from Dragan Stojkovic recently, and keep their playoff hopes alive.

England v Serbia – Team News & Predicted Lineups

England

  • Phil Foden and Jude Bellingham have returned to this England squad after missing the games against Wales and Latvia last month. However, Cole Palmer is still injured and Trent Alexander-Arnold has not yet done enough for a recall.
  • Harry Kane will likely skipper the team in both games, though who plays in the more advanced midfield/winger roles behind him is a hotbed of competition.
  • Declan Rice will start as the anchoring midfielder for England, likely alongside Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson, unless Tuchel wants to see Bellingham play in a deeper midfield role. Tuchel has said he sees Foden as a number 10, not a winger, which means the Man City star will be in competition with Morgan Rogers and Eberechi Eze for the advanced midfield role.
  • A possible team selection for England could be: (4-2-3-1) – Pickford; James, Spence, Stones, Guehi; Rice, Anderson; Saka, Gordon, Rogers; Kane.

Serbia

  • Serbia will likely adopt a more conservative approach than they did at the game in Belgrade. Expect to see them play in a low block with four defenders, five across the midfield and a lone striker.
  • Skipper Aleksandar Mitrovic misses the game, meaning Nicola Vlahovic and Luka Jovic are vying for the attacking slot.
  • A potential team selection for Serbia could be: (4-5-1) – Rajkovic; Pavlovic, Erakovic, Milenkovic, Veljkovic; Gudelj, Lukic, Radonjic, Kostic, Samardzic; Vlahovic

England v Serbia – Key Battles & Tactical Themes

  • Battle for Posession: England's ability to counter Serbia paid off big time in the away game. Serbia will pack the midfield hoping to keep possession and deny England space.
  • Bellingham and Foden's Return: Two of England's top attacking talents are back but both may have to settle for a place on the bench after England won their last three games, scoring 13 goals without conceding.
  • Serbia try to hit on the counter: Serbia have a number of players suited to playing on the counter so expect them to try and pick off England when the Three Lions come forward and lose possession.
  • World Cup Destiny: With England qualified the pressure is off them here. Serbia though need to pip Albania to second in the group to qualify for the playoffs. A point or win here would be a huge boost to their playoff hopes.

England v Serbia – Prediction & What to Watch

Tuchel's England have found their stride of late and are unrecognisable from the team that were beaten comfortably by Senegal at the end of last season. Serbia won't make this quite as easy as it was for England in Belgrade but despite that England should still win this game comfortably.

Prediction: England 3-0 Serbia

What to watch:

  • Will Serbia's low block frustrate England?
  • If England maintain their defensive solidity — can they keep another clean sheet?
  • What roles will Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden have in the team, or will they start on the bench with Tuchel keeping faith with the likes of Anthony Gordon, Morgan Rogers and Elliot Anderson?
  • Will England give full debuts to Nico O'Reilly, Alex Scott and Jarrell Quansah?
