<p>Following their encounter against Andorra, England will take on Serbia as they look <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/world-cup/fifa-world-cup-qualifiers-europe">to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup</a>.</p> <p>Thomas Tuchel’s side will head to the Rajko Mitic Stadium in Belgrade on Wednesday the 10th of September (04:45 AEST) to face their opponents, who will likely put up a stern test against the favourites to win Group K.</p> <p>Serbia are coming off the back of a match against Latvia, as they look to boost their own hopes of qualifying for the major tournament scheduled to take place across North America, having been participants in the 2022 edition in Qatar.</p> <h2>Serbia vs England Betting Preview</h2> <p>Led by Dragan Stojković, the Serbian national team are not a nation that England can take for granted. They have plenty of quality available to them on the pitch, with the likes of Đorđe Petrović in goal, Nikola Milenković in defence, and Aleksandar Mitrović, Luka Jović, and Dušan Vlahović in attack.</p> <p>They will be without quality players, though. The manager is no longer considering Sergej Milinković-Savić, while his brother Vanja Milinković-Savić recently requested not to be called up after completing a recent transfer.</p> <p>For England, Harry Kane leads the attack with Marcus Rashford recalled after a decent run for Barcelona, and John Stones, Adam Wharton, and Jarrod Bowen also return. Meanwhile, Tottenham defender Djed Spence and Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson could receive senior team debuts after some seriously standout club performances.</p> <p>Still, there have been some big omissions from German Tuchel, with some out of his control, while others are decisions he has made. Jude Bellingham, Cole Palmer and Bukayo Saka are all unavailable due to injury, while Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jack Grealish, and Phil Foden weren’t selected in the squad.</p> <p>The head-to-head between Serbia and England may provide a little insight into what to expect between these two countries. However, there has only been one game between them since Serbia’s reformation. England won the only recent clash 1-0, at Euro 2024, with a 13th minute goal from Bellingham.</p> <p>Still, Serbia entered their game against Latvia on Sunday on an 11-match unbeaten run in World Cup qualifiers, showcasing how tough an opponent they are.</p> <h2>Serbia vs England Betting Predictions</h2> <p>The latest <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/world-cup/fifa-world-cup-qualifiers-europe/serbia-v-england-9587997">Serbia vs England betting odds</a> have the visitors as the moderate favourites to win this Group K encounter, although a stern test is expected.</p> <p>England to win is our prediction, although we expect a tight contest due to Serbia’s home advantage and defensive discipline.</p> <p>We think that the ‘Over 2.5 goals’ is a viable angle, with the ‘Yes’ outcome for ‘Both Teams to Score’. They each possess strong attacking options, but England historically keeps matches tighter against quality opposition.</p> <p>Aleksandar Mitrović is a name to consider as an ‘anytime goalscorer’, as he scored a hat-trick against Andorra in the last international window in June.</p> <p>It may also be worth looking at Harry Kane to score a penalty. In their last match up, Serbia conceded 19 fouls.</p>
