England vs Serbia Predictions, Lineups & Betting Tips

England host Serbia at Wembley on Thursday night in UEFA World Cup Qualification Group K.

The Three Lions have already booked their trip to the USA, Mexico and Canada next summer as they sit top with 18 points from six games, meaning they can no longer be caught.

The visitors are down in third with 10 points from six, and will need a win if they want to overtake Albania - who are a point above them - if they are to reach the play-off stages with just one qualifier after this left to play.

We're predicting England to win this game.

England vs Serbia Predicted Lineups

England: Henderson, Stones, Konsa, O'Reilly, Spence, Wharton, Scott, Bellingham, Gordon, Kane, Bowen

Alex Scott and Nico O'Reilly have been called up to the senior men's team for the first time in their career. Nick Pope has also been recalled for the first time since September 2022.

Serbia: Petrovic, Milenkovic, Pavlovic, Erakovic, Lukic, Maksimovic, Kostic, Nedeljkovic, Zivkovic, Ilic, Vlahovic

Serbia will be mainly unchanged from their defeat to England back in September, as they can't afford to experiment with tactics or personnel in this must-win clash.

Serbia have three wins but two losses in their last five matches. The back-to-back losses to England and Albania have cost them dearly, especially the one to Albania, who they are directly competing with for the sole play-off spot.

England vs Serbia Best Betting Tips

Football Park's Best Bet: England to win @ 1.30 - Recent form and the head-to-head record suggests a home victory, and the odds justify this.

Alternate Bet: Draw @ 5.00 - As England have already qualified and will likely rotate their squad, Serbia's must-win mentality could result in them getting an unlikely draw.

Key Players to Watch

Jude Bellingham (England) has missed a host of England camps under Tuchel due to injury, so it will be interesting to see how he fares now coming in to a settled team that has started playing well as a unit.

Dusan Vlahovic (Serbia) the Juventus striker has three goals in 10 Juve games (5 starts) and two goals and an assist in these qualifiers.
