On June 16, Serbia and England will play their opening match at Euro 2024. The forecast for the match between these teams has been prepared by Dailysports experts.
Serbia
The Serbian national team got into a comfortable group, with which it was difficult not to get to the Euros, although the team had difficulties. As a result, they became second, the gap from the first Hungary amounted to 4 points, and ahead of Montenegro, Lithuania and Bulgaria.
Already at the Euro the group is not so "sweet", although not everything looks hopeless. The main question is what version of Serbia we will see, as the team looked sluggish in qualifying, and the battle against the English will show the real level of readiness. In control meetings they looked unstable, they beat the Swedes 3:0, but got 0:4 from not the strongest Russians.
England
The reigning European vice-champions brought a powerful squad to the tournament, of course, they are among the contenders to win the tournament. In the qualifying group was not easy, but the English won it confidently, ahead of the main competitors Italy and Ukraine, who will also play at this tournament.
In control meetings the team looked unstable, there was an incomprehensible defeat from Iceland - 0:1, with the same score lost to Brazil. Also beat Bosnia and Herzegovina - 3:0, and also signed a peace with Belgium - 2:2. Gareth Southgate's wards should win their group, but this is only the first goal.
Interesting facts about the match and history of head-to-head meetings
- Previously, the rivals have never crossed paths, this is mainly due to the fact that geographically, Serbia in its current form has existed not so long ago.
- The Serbs have won just two meetings out of the last six.
- England have one win in their last five matches.
Serbia vs England Prediction
Not always the quotes reflect the real balance of power of the teams, I believe that England should easily deal with mediocre Serbs, who with a share of luck got to this tournament. I see a good opportunity to make a nice profit, so I bet on the success of the English with a -1.5 goal for a nice odds.
